Intro: G Bm Am D C Am Em G 

G              Bm          Am                 D 
For argument's sake let's pretend we could stop arguing 
     C              Am       Em          G 
Over which of us is wrong and why it isn't you 
G             Bm              Am              D 
We're barely awake before your head's up in the clouds again 
        C                Am              Em             G 
There's nothing you like more than having nothing much to do 

C 
Stood akimbo 
                              G  Bm Am D C Am Em G 
Staring out the window at the sky 

G        Bm              Am           D 
All afternoon you've been buried in a biography 
      C        Am          Em         G 
Of an aviatrix lost at sea, never to be found 
G                Bm           Am        D 
Holed up in your room, holding out for an apology 
    C            Am        Em 
But gravity will get to you eventually 

G           C 
You'll come down from upstairs again 
C 
With all those model aeroplanes 

        G            C 
And the novelty wore off 
         G                 C 
When the pilots still wore goggles 
         G         Bm 
But your eyes look skywards 
         Em        C 
And your mind still boggles 

Then play: Verse chords 

G         Bm               Am            D 
I'm going grey but you look younger than a year ago 
         C                Am              Em              G 
When you put your hair in pigtails and you put your hand in mine 
G        Bm      Am               D 
We'll be OK - I'm happy when you're here 
             C                 Am         Em         G 
But oh, your smile can seem as far away as once upon a time 

C 
You can't help it 
C 
Hopelessly nostalgic 

Am                       C 
A passing interest in the past 
C                         G             Em D 
But I think it's going to last a little longer 
Am                  C                    G 
I'll hold on to your hand as tightly as I can 
    Em       D 
But modelling glue is stronger 

Then play: Verse chords 
Then play: C 

    G            C 
The novelty wore off 
         G                 C 
When the pilots still wore goggles 
         G         Bm 
But your eyes look skywards 
         Em        D 
And your mind still boggles 
G                C           G               C 
Through frequent flyers' disappointments and disasters 
    G             Bm      Em            C 
The golden age of aviation never lost its lustre 

End on: G
