[Intro]

Verse 
G                       A              D 
Came into this world, I was lost not found 
         G               D            A         G 
It did not hold me in its arms like it holds me now 
     G                               A          D 
So I dreamed myself a bird who could cross the waves 
      G             D           A       G 
And I woke up just a man who was miles away 

[Refrão]


Chorus 
 G     D          G            D           G 
Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away 


Verse 
G                                A            D 
So I went to Cape Canaveral and I went to the moon 
      G         D          A        G 
And I stayed up there for a year or two 
 G                             A     D 
Famous picture of me above the blue parade 
       G            D          A       G 
A man a million miles up, still miles away 


[Refrão]

Chorus 
G       D          G            D           G 
Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away 


Verse 
 G                             A         D 
So I went back to Kansas, it was summertime 
        G             D       A          G 
Brought flowers to my family by the riverside 
     G                             A            D 
At the end of his life, they said my father had changed 
     G                              D        A       G 
I suppose we could have been friends, but I was miles away 


[Refrão]

Chorus 
G      D          G            D           G 
Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away 


Verse 
G                            A           D 
Honey, you don't belong in a place like this 
       G           D           A      G 
With your long yellow hair and your hips 
 G                  D               A            D 
But the look in your eye is like the world from space 
           G                D           A      G 
The way the sun hits off the water from miles away 

[Refrão]


Chorus 
G      D          G            D           G 
Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away

Honey, can you leave your light on? 
 D                           G 
Honey, can you leave your light on? 
 G                           D 
Honey, can you leave your light on? 
 D                           G 
Honey, can you leave your light on? 
G          D          G 
I'm miles away, miles away 
      D            G 
Miles away, miles away
