[Verse 1]
G7                  C7
Lying awake in the darkness
G7                      C7
Your voice is sad in my ear
G7                          C7
Now that I've just put the phone down
D7                       C7                    G7
How do you expect me to sleep with you so far away?


[Verse 2]
G7                            C7
I'm calling the desk for a taxi
G7                             C7
The night is so black with the rain
G7                               C7
All of my friends are still sleeping
D7                          C7                     G7
They would never know I was planning to be gone again


[Chorus]
Em7                     C7
I'm the night flyer, I'm waiting
Em7                C7
Somebody get me a plane
Em7                      C7
Airports at night always empty
A                        D7
I smoke too much sitting here


[Verse 3]
G7                            C7
I'm coming home to you darling
G7                        C7
Out of the darkness till day
G7                             C7
Though you will tell me I'm crazy
D7                       C7                      G7
How do you expect me to sleep with you so far away?


[Interlude]

[Outro]
G7                             C7
Though you will tell me I'm crazy
D7                       C7                      G7
How do you expect me to sleep with you so far away?
