[Verse]
C                 Am                 C
I met you in the summer, July to be precise

  C                                                       F
When i saw you standing there with those beautiful blue eyes

             C
i felt something inside

            C
That I hadn't felt in a long long time

            C
And i tried to ignore it for a day or two but I

 F                          C                  G
Realized this feeling aint going away any time soon
[Pre-Chorus]
        F*         C*
so I walked up to you

            G*
but I had no idea what to do
[Chorus]
           C                   Am
MIles of sky and a thousand roads

                    C                    Am
But I'd drive them all just to see you home

                    F                      C
Don't care if its weeks, dont care if its years

                  G
I'm holding on through the lonliness and tears

            C                      Am
And every mile just burns in my chest

            F                        C
Cuz lovin you's the part that I do best

                         Am
Miles of sky, But im on my way

              G                                   C
Every step I take just brings me closer to that day
[Verse]
 C                   Am
Seven thousand eight hundred twenty one miles

   C                    Am                           F
And you're still the first thought when I open my eyes

                   F
And every goodbye feels harder than the last

 G
But I'm holding on cuz I need this to last

C                        Am                C
Seven thousand, eight hundred twenty-one miles

                                        F
And I’d cross them all just to see you smile

                F               C
Seven thousand miles and a whole year to wait

     G                              C
Counting down the days ‘til I see your face
N.C [Chorus]
    C                   Am
MIles of sky and a thousand roads

                    C                    Am
But I'd drive them all just to see you home

                    F                       C
Don't care if its weeks, dont care if its years

                  G
I'm holding on through the lonliness and tears

            C                      Am
And every mile just burns in my chest

            F                        C
Cuz lovin you's the part that I do best

                         Am
Miles of sky, But im on my way

              G                                   C
Every step I take just brings me closer to that day
