[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


[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


[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


[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                                 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


[Chorus]
G      D          G            D           G
Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away


[Outro]
 G                           D
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
