        Am                       F      Am             
 For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world 
          G                   E/G#          
 Didn't anybody know, didn't anyone suppose 
          Am               Am/G           D/F# 
 That my life up here was slowly drifting by 
      F                             Am 
 And all I've got to do is sit and cry 
      Am                          F       Am        
 The Earth is so clear and it's simply a reach away 
         G                          E/G#                 
 I just had to laugh today for the news it seemed to say 
          Am                 Am/G           D/F# 
 That my life once full was surely running dry 
      F                              C  
 I prayed a while but then I had to cry 
 Ch. 
             G       D/F# 
 Look in my eyes - I know 
      F                     C  
 That man is surely just a man 
           G          D/F# 
 It's no surprise - I know 
      F                   
 The road is far too long 
      Dm                   C  A# F Am 
 And life too short to carry on  
       Am                          F      Am           
 For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world 
            G                       E/G#                
 Here in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhyme 
   Am               Am/G              D/F# 
 Dangles aimlessly, time drips slowly by 
      F                             C  
 And all I've got to do is sit and cry 
 Ch.
