                    C#m
I've spent so much time above the earth,
           E
Thinking about life and each man's worth,
             A
How can one person be worth more
                 E
Than a thousand people knocking on his door,

Still, the motion of your hair
Well, that could take me anywhere
Because you're happier than I
Please don't say goodbye.

B
Then I get off the plane,
F#
A thousand thoughts flashing through my brain,
A                 E      B
Like am I really here at all,

Will I see her again?
If I do, will it feel the same?
And am I really here at all?
