Gate 22

Intro: Piano
C#m


C#m
I won’t try to argue now
  G#m                                 F#m
Anyway I feel there’s nothing I could say
   A         B
To ease your mind
C#m
Maybe there’s nothing exciting outside
     G#m                            F#m
But ‘round here I’m just wasting my time
          A                B
Spinning ‘round on nothing new
     C#m               G#m           F#m
When I close my eyes I remember that kiss
           A              B
I’d rather keep them wide open
     C#m                             G#m
& if I miss that train do you really think
          F#m          A         B
That even here, I’d be closer to you


Refrain
C#m             G#m F#m   A       B
So,  here I am,           leaving soon and
C#m       G#m      F#m        A     B
I’m   stan……………ding     at   gate  22
E
’Cause whatever you may think I forgot
B                                  A
You know I’m still thinking about it
            F#m          B
Sometimes I wish I could stay
E
But no matter where I go, no matter how long
B                              A
You know I’ll keep hanging on. Sweet memories
                F#m                 B
I’m leaving but my mind will surely stay

 C#m
There’s too many dreams I must chase down
  G#m                                 F#m    A   B
Though sometimes I bite off more than I      can chew
 C#m
I know you’d like to keep me near
  G#m                    F#m
I know it’s easier to be two
                    A         B
But I can’t plan my life all around you
  C#m                        G#m
I’m weaker than I’ll let you know
                             F#m
So don’t ask me to jump this wall
     A                 B
From here it looks too tall
     C#m                            G#m
Two people kissing goodbye facing a door
          F#m           A         B
A classic picture we’re all tired of


Refrain
C#m             G#m F#m   A       B
So,  here I am,           leaving soon and
C#m       G#m      F#m        A     B
I’m   stan……………ding      at   gate  22
E
’Cause whatever you may think I forgot
B                                  A
You know I’m still thinking about it
            F#m          B
Sometimes I wish I could stay
E
But no matter where I go, no matter how long
B                              A
You know I’ll keep hanging on. Sweet memories
                F#m                 B
I’m leaving but my mind will surely stay

C#m                               G#m
I already see the picture of that day
                                     F#m
When you’ll say that you’ll wait for me
            A         B               C#m
And I’ll pretend just then to believe you
              G#m                            F#m
I’ll send you post cards for a few weeks and then
        A                     B
Another perfect moment at the wrong time
      F#m           B
But the timing is always wrong


Refrain
C#m             G#m F#m   A       B
So,  here I am,           leaving soon and
C#m       G#m      F#m        A     B
I’m   stan……………ding      at   gate  22
