D
Counting down these seconds,
Jumping off these fences,
G              A              D
Find another place to start again.
The cracks in the sidewalk,
I’m over all the small talk
 G               A           D
Taking off like fire in the wind.

 Bm                A
   I won’t waste another day
 G
   Wishing this would fade away,
   Bm              A           D A G
   Running, we’re not looking back.

Chorus:
               G                 D
     I want a little bit of California
             G                     D
     With a little bit of London sky,
              G
     I wanna take my heart
            D
     To the end of the world
         Bm          A
     And fly away tonight.
               G                 D
     I want a little bit of open ocean
             G                 D
     With a New York state of mind,
              G
     I wanna take my heart
            D
     To the end of the world
          Bm         A         D   A7
     And fly away, fly away tonight.

                D  G
     Fly away tonight.
                D
     Fly away tonight.

D
A never-ending replay
With memories I can’t erase,
   G               A                 D
I see the best of times in front of me.
Now I’m off to paradise,
Swore I’ll never fight,
 G              A            D
Say goodbye to pain and misery.

 Bm                A
   I won’t waste another day
 G
   Wishing this would fade away,
   Bm              A           D A G
   Running, we’re not looking back.

Chorus

 G                 A
   I won’t waste another day
 Bm                   A7
   Wishing this would fade away.


 G                A
   I won’t waste another day
 Bm                   A7
   Wishing this would fade away.
 D
   Counting down the seconds,
   Always second-guessing,
         G            A
   I’m dreaming of a place
              D
   To start again.

Chorus

   Fly away tonight
   Fly away tonight
