[Verse]
C#m
Metal bird dip wing of fire
D
Whose airlanes comb dark Earth
C#m
The poles are tethers we were
D E
Born in
C#m
On the brink of a whole new deal
D
On the floor of a Pan Am bar
C#m
I'm staring right into the light
D C#m Bm C#m
And I'm drawn in like a moth
D C#m Bm G
And I'm flying north again
[Verse]
C#m
Here come the men in suits
D
Papers waving in the runway glare
C#m
Lincoln streaming in the chilly air of the
D E
morning
C#m
At the end of a double day
D
At the back of an airport lounge
C#m
I'm staring down into the cold
D C#m Bm C#m
And I'm worn out like a cloth
D C#m Bm G D
And I'm flying north again tonight
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
C#m
Down with the landing gear
D
Up goes the useless prayer
C#m
The poles are tethers we were
D E
born in
C#m
Now I'm back in the London night
D
On a bench in a launderette
C#m
I'm staring right into my face
D C#m Bm C#m
And I'm drawn out like a plot
D C#m Bm G D
And I'm flying north again tonight
[Instrumental]
