I came into this world I was lost not [Eb] found, _ it did [Ab] not hold me in its arms like it holds me [Ab] now.
_ So I dreamt myself [Bb] a bird that could cross [Eb] the waves, _ and I woke up just a man who [Bb] was miles [Ab] away.
_ [Eb] Miles away, _ [Ab] miles away, _ [Eb] miles away, _ [Ab] miles away.
_ So I left the Cape Canaveral and I went to [Eb] the moon, _ and I stayed up there for [Ab] a year or two.
_ Famous picture of [Bb] me above the blue [Eb] parade, _ a man a million miles up still [Ab] miles away. _
[Eb] Miles away, _ [Ab] miles away, _ [Eb] miles away, _ [Ab] miles away.

_ So I went back to [Bb] Kansas it was summertime, _ _ brought [Eb] flowers to my family by the [Ab] river side.
_ At the end of his [Bb] life they said my [Eb] father had changed, _ I suppose we could have been
friends but I was [Ab] miles away. _
[Eb] Miles away, _ [Ab] miles away, _ [Eb] miles away, _ [Ab] miles away.
_ Honey you don't belong in a [Eb] place like this, _ with your long yellow hair and your [Ab] hips. _
But the look in your eyes is like the world [Eb] from space, _ the way the sun hits off the water
from [Ab] miles away.
_ [Eb] Miles away, _ _ [Ab] miles away, _ [Eb] miles away, _ [Ab] miles away.
Honey can [Eb] you leave your light _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
on?
I'm miles away, _ [Ab] miles away, _ miles [Eb] away, _ miles [Ab] away _
