rolling down the runway,
Monday
G
Atlanta to catch another flight
C
Am
I am heading up north, back to
New
York
Dm
And if all goes well,
G

C

Dm
G

We're toasting to 172 months today.

C
A

Dm
But why not 14 years and 4 months?

F

Am
we're descending and I'm thinking nobody
Dm
G
is waiting for me at the gate but this
C
A
is the life I've chosen though sometimes

Dm
I feel frozen in my indecision I keep

C
giving in to fate. I'm chugging through the airport,

taxi drivers and one will get an extra fiver.
