C Am F
See that big blue note
G
Over there on the counter
C Am
You don't want to read that thing, man
F G
It's a real 'get you down'er
C Am
But don't you dare say
F G
Nothin' else bad about her
C Am F G
She's gone
C Am
No no no, no, no, don't throw it away
F G
'Cause tonight I might need it
C Am
It gets real lonely around here at night sometimes
F G
And I have to reread it
C Am
Besides, you show it to the boys downtown
F G
They won't believe that
C Am F G
She's gone
F
There used to be a time
Em
I was all she ever wanted
F G C
All the man that she'll ever need
F
I come home to find
Em
Just like that, she's up and vanished
F G
And the only thing she left behind for me
C Am
Is this big blue note
F G
Folded up in my pocket
C
Yeah, don't laugh
Am F
It's been two months
G
I still got it
C Am
Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice
F G
Just to make sure I ain't forgot that
C Am F G
She's gone
C Am
You know, my psychiatrist said
F G
"Tell me what do you see
C Am
When you look at these ink spots
F G
Of reds and yellows and greens?"

You know, I looked at 'em all
F G
But they all looked to me like
C Am F G
Big blue notes
C Am F G

I was all she ever wanted
F G C
All the man that she'll ever need

Just like that, she's up and vanished
F G
And the only thing that's left to do for me

F G
Overlookin' the sea
C Am
With my big blue note paper airplane
F G
That I just set free
C Am
Now I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes
F G
And if it don't come back to me, huh

You guessed it

She's gone
C Am F G
Crash landing!
C Am F G

Bye bye, baby
