Been up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even begin

(Now you're flying) I got so much work in front of me,
F#m7Bm7AEA
(Really flying) it stretches out far as the eye can see
EDADAD/F#
I can see
Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords and attempting to sleep
And when the bar is open then you'll often find me warming a seat
(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can stay
(Really flying) I'd rather be a thousand miles away
Thousand miles away

Working for yourself sometimes ain't all that it's cracked up to be
AEAEDADAD/F#
It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that corporate tree
EF#m7Bm7E
(Now you're flying) I'm told I'm going places - who can say?
F#m7Bm7AEA
(Really flying) I might arrive but I'll be gone the very next day
EDADAD/F#AEA
I must be on my way
EDADAD/F#A thousand miles away
AC#mF#mDAC#mF#mD
Promised to myself someday I'd take the time and try to make sense
Out of all those opportunities I've lost from trying to sit on the fence
(Now you're flying) But right now I've got no time for yesterday
(Really flying) Yesterday's a thousand miles away
A thousand miles away
