[Verse 1]
C     (C)         F      G         Am
14A, window seat, tennis shoes and faded jeans.
C              F                  C              G
Nervous as he tells me it's his first time on a plane.
C               (C)                F        G           Am
We took off and headed East, I was thumbing through the magazines.
C              F           C                  G
  He felt like talking and offered me his name.

[Pre-Chorus]
     F         C      Gsus4
So I asked him how he was
       F          C         Dm
And he smiled and said, Well son,

[Chorus]
          F                 C
I've been better, I've been worse
      Am                  G
I've chased after pretty girls
F             C             Dm
Seen a couple places that I never though I'd see
     F                  C                      G      G#dim  Am
I've walked into harder times, and I've walked out the other side
         F               C                F
It seems like you end up getting what you need
F                       C      F                          C
Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life's been good to me

[Verse 2]
C                            F       G       Am
I've been out a month or so, another night, another show
C                     F            C                 G
One hundred different cities, they all just seem the same
C                                 F       G      Am
He asked me what it must be like, singing songs under the lights
C                  F                 C              G
Well, it's got its moments, just the same as anything

[Pre-Chorus]
          F       C       G
I miss my town, I miss my wife
           F         C       Dm
But I'm up here with you tonight

[Chorus]
            F                C
I've been better, I've been worse
       Am              G
I have loved a pretty girl
F             C              Dm
Seen a couple places that I never though I'd see
     F                   C                     G      G#dim  Am
I've walked into harder times, and I've walked out the other side
         F               C                F
IT seems like you end up getting what you need
F                       C      F                           C
Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life's been good to me

|C  C  |F - C  Am  |C   F  |C  G  |
                Good to me

[Bridge]
     F               Am          F              C
Sometimes we can get lost living in the here and now
F                      Am       Bb                  F
Sometimes it takes the sky to see what's on the ground

|C  |C  |F  C  |Am    |C   |F  |C  |G  |

[Chorus]
            F                C
I've been better, I've been worse
       Am              G
I have chased after a pretty girl
F             C              Dm
Seen a couple places that I never though I'd see
     F                   C                     G      G#dim  Am
I've walked into harder times, and I've walked out the other side
         F               C                F
IT seems like you end up getting what you need
F                       C      F                           C
Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life's been good to me

[Outro]

|C   |F  C  |Am       |F  |C   |G  |C   |
                Good to me
