[Intro] C Dm Am Bb F C x2 Bb F C F Eb Bb F C F Eb Bb [Verse 1]
F             Eb   Bb
Riding on the moon path

       F             Eb   Bb
in the silver of the night

    F                Eb
The fragrance on the air

       Bb       F   Eb Bb
was of another time

  C                Bb    F
I cried in all my innocence

         C          Bb    F
you were dressed in white

    C           Bb      F
and even if I'd had the strength

  C                 Bb     F
I couldn't move to save my life
[Verse 2]
F             Eb   Bb
The fear and the thrill

       F             Eb   Bb
of the beast at the window

    F                Eb  Bb
The shivers and the chills

       F           Eb Bb
on the hottest of nights

  C                        Bb    F
he walked right through my open door

   C          Bb      F
As I began to run, he threw

      C            Bb         F
some gold upon the floor, and said

    C
There's plenty more

      Bb        F
where that came from
[Chorus]
F                 Bb F
I'm tired of the bombs

F                       C
I'm tired of the bullets

F
I'm the aviator

Eb                    Bb
A dream's a dream whatever it seems

            F
whatever it seems
[Instrumental] F B F F C F Eb Bb [Verse 3]
F                 Eb     Bb
I flew along the lighted street

  F              Eb   Bb
I flew above the town

   F           Eb     Bb
I flew in ever rising circles

F             Eb      Bb
ever further from the ground

C             Bb      F
As I begin to lose my breath

C             Bb     F
printed faxes turn a spin

 C               Bb     F
A distant corner of the room

     C           Bb     F
will open up and let me in
[Chorus]
F                 Bb F
I'm tired of the news

F                    C
I'm tired of the weather

F
I'm the aviator

Eb                          Bb
I'm tired of the same thing every day

              F
Whatever they say
