[C#5]My eyes opened to the [A5]emptiness.
[E5]My face was nothing but [B5]crooked lines.
[C#5]I guess somewh[B5]ere I really [A5]fell behind.
[C#5]My feet were cold against the [A5]bathroom tile.
[E5]Took a shower just to [B5]pass the time.
[C#5]My mind was [B5]full, too much to [A5]figure out.

Walk through the [C#5]snow to a [B5]bar where there's [A5]no one I know.
Drink s[C#5]low, drink [B5]slow with [A5]nowhere to go.

{sot}And when I leave I'll be singing this song.        Summer's

[E5]I was [B5]lost on the [A5]airplanes.
[E5]I was [B5]high on the [A5]fast trains.
My [C#5]heart was a b[B5]ird in a [A5]small cage.
[E5]And I was d[B5]runk on the [C#5]radio [A5]waves.
I was d[E5]runk, I was d[B5]runk on the r[C#5]adio w[A5]aves.

{sot}    [C#5]                       [A5]              [E5]  [B5]       [C#5]

G|-------------------------------------------------------------|{eot}

Too much coffee I’m not s[A5]teady now.
[E5]Quiet apartment, ears are [B5]ringing loud.
[C#5]The winter [B5]drowns out all the [A5]city sounds.
[C#5]Hang my towel over the s[A5]hower rod.
[E5]So many hours just [B5]hanging on.
[C#5]So many c[B5]hances have [A5]come and gone.

[E5]I was [B5]lost on the [A5]airplanes.
[E5]I was [B5]high on the [A5]fast trains.
My [C#5]heart was a b[B5]ird in a [A5]small cage.
[E5]And I was d[B5]runk on the [C#5]radio [A5]waves.
I was d[E5]runk, I was d[B5]runk on the r[C#5]adio w[A5]aves.

[C#5]And all this [A5]time passed me [E5]by and I was t[B5]rapped here waiting.
[C#5]Sometimes the t[A5]ruth is hard to [E5]find and I was [B5]scared of changing.
[C#5]What [B5]will it [A5]say on my[C#5] snow-[B5]covered [A5]grave?
[E5]"He had it [B5]all, he let it [C#5]all just [B5]slip [A5]away."

Walk through the [C#m]snow to a [B]bar where there's [A]no one I know.
Drink s[C#m]low, drink [B]slow with [A]nowhere to go.
And when I [C#m]leave I'll be [B]singing this [A]song.
Summer's [C#m]gone, carry [B]on, I'm a [A]ghost in the dawn.

[E5]I was [B5]lost on the [A5]airplanes.
[E5]I was [B5]high on the [A5]fast trains.
My [C#5]heart was a b[B5]ird in a [A5]small cage.
[E5]And I was d[B5]runk on the [C#5]radio [A5]waves.
I was d[E5]runk, I was [B5]drunk on the [C#5]radio [A5]waves.
