[Intro] G A D G D A G G A D G D A G G D A G [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
