C5 A#5 G#5 F5
[Verse 1]
C5 A#5
20 thousand miles of air beneath our feet
G#5 F5
That's where both our eyes first came to meet
C5 A#5 G#5 F5
It's where you told me you were running from your family
C5 A#5
Grounded to the world wanted from afar
G#5 F5
Quick to burn your heart for the morning star
C5 A#5
Though you're far from home
G#5 F5
I get the feeling you know just what you're doing
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C5 A#5 G#5 F5
The longer I want her
C5 A#5 G#5
The more I think that she can tell
F5
I'm lonely but I'll go
[Chorus 1]
G#5 F5
Through the hell that you put me through
C5
You know,
A#5 G#5
You know, you know, I would
C5 A#5 G#5
You know, you know, I would
C5 A#5 G#5
You know, you know, I would
[Verse 2]
C5 A#5 G#5 F5
Your word is like a narrow bridge and I'm trying not to be scared
C5 A#5 G#5 F5
What's on the other side of this? More lies and eyes to make a vanity fair?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C5 A#5 G#5 F5
But the longer I want her
C5 A#5 G#5
The more she keeps on doing it well
F5
I'm lonely but I'll go
[Chorus 2]
G#5 F5
Through the hell that you put me through
C5
You know,
A#5 G#5
You know, you know, I would
C5 A#5 G#5
You know, you know, I would
C5 A#5 G#5
You know, you know, I would
[Outro]
G#5 C5
And as for the landslide
A#5 G#5 C5
That knocked you away and swept you right into my life
A#5
It once more came to take you from me
G#5 C5 A#5
As word made it's way about the homecoming queen
A#5
Who'd return on the day of reckoning
G#5 C5 A#5
To be given to a man of their choice
A#5
But you were down with an American boy
G#5 C5 A#5
Sing my little Helen of Troy
A#5 G#5
Thank God you were down with an American boy
