G                             C               G 
Ten mile west of nowhere with nowhere left to go 
Em                 C                     D                
Flat on my back as airplanes track their way out to the coast 
C                     D                        Em 
I don’t know why they paint the sky with their vapor trails 
         C                                   D    
Maybe if all else fails they can follow them home 
 
Chorus 1: 
                          Em   C 
And if they can why can’t yo-o-o-o-o-u 
       G              D/F#  
Take a look up at the sky 
        Em    C          D  
You can cho-o-ose from a hundred lines 
                Em  C 
That’s what I’d do  
     G                D/F#             Em       C   D  
If I couldn’t find my way back home to yo-o-o-o-o-u 
 
I believe in angels but I don’t believe in ghosts 
I’d rather fly if I’m gonna die than haunt this house alone 
If I were out there on a wing and prayer and I could see  
Some of the wings I’d let them lead me back home. 
 
Chorus 2: 
And if I could why can’t you 
Take a look up at the sky 
I would use any help that I could get 
That’s what I’d do 
If I couldn’t find my way back home to you, back home to you. 
 
Chorus 2 
 
Back home to you, back home to you, back home to you.
