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 Bb 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
