Bb Gm F FMaj7 F6
I should ask a lot of questions, who with? And where’d you go?
Gm D D/C B7
Watch you fumbling for the answers, things that I don’t want to know
Gm C F FMaj7 F6
I should put you on the spot now, as you are lying in my bed
Bdim7 Gm C
But I think I’d rather not now, when I could love you instead
Bb/G C F Bb
You won’t see a sign of pain, though my heart breaks the whole damn while
Gm C Bb C F
I’ll kiss you onto the plane, and give you my bravest smile

Bb Gm F FMaj7 F6
Come the morning you’ll gently wake, I’ll kiss you until you rise
Gm D D/C B7
Won’t let you see my heart break as the dawn comes up in your eyes
Gm C F FMaj7 F6
I’ll help you pack up your case and slip in my bold surprise
Bdim7 Gm C
You’ll find when you reach your place and you finally realize
Bb/G C F Bb
That you’re the only one who’s free, I will give you your wings and miles
Gm C Bb C F
But you won’t catch a tear from me, no I’ll give you my bravest smile

A Bb F C
In another place and time I would have laid it on the line
A Bb Gm C
Broken down these walls and taken what is mine

Bb Gm F FMaj7 F6
It’s just the way things go, you can’t ask the moon not to change
Gm D D/C B7
You’re only here I know, until you are gone again
Bb/G C F Bb
But you won’t see a sign of pain, though my heart breaks the whole damn while
Bb C Bb C Am
I’ll kiss you onto the plane, and give you my bravest smile
Bb C Bb C F
I’ll kiss you onto the plane, and give you my bravest smile
