Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A]

[Verse 1]
He was working [A]For the airline
one day
And out on the street the next
The company always
Came first with him

[Verse 2]
She came second [A]best
His life was aviation
He was rising fast
They let him go
He became
A victim of the [D]past

[Interlude 1]
[D][Bb][G][F][Am][A]
[Asus4][Dm][A][Asus4][G][Dm][A]

[Verse 3]
[Asus4]She lost her job[Dm]
The [A]same month
[Asus4]At "Fashions[Dm]
[A]For You"
[Asus4]She lost her chanc[G]e
[Dm]Of e[A]ver seeing Paris
[F]Lost the[G] baby too[A]
[Asus4]They took

[Verse 4]
[G]all [Dm]their [A]belongings
And [Asus4]managed to get a[A] loan
And [Asus4]put it all into[G]
This [A]broken down building
That [F]called itself a [G]restaurant
[A][Am]

[Verse 5]
He waits tables
She does the cooking
[F]He [Am]can remember
Seeing her look [G]so [F]beautiful
And now she is just fading away
[D]

[Verse 6]
[Am]She waits tables
He does the cook[G]ing
[Am]They don't owe nobody [F]nothing
[Am]If there's a God up
there in heav[F]en

[Verse 7]
Must have lost his [D]touch
[F]Maybe he's [G]out to [A]lunch[Bb][Dm][Am]
[Bb][Am][Bb]
[Am][F][Bb][Am]
His [Asus4]life was avi [Dm]ation[A][Asus4]
He was [Dm]rising [A]fast

[Verse 8]
But [Asus4]who needs exper[Dm]t
[A]In fuel conservation
When [F]the planes are [G]out [A]of gas
[Asus4]He still reads,
[Dm]"Aviation"
[A]

[Verse 9]
[Asus4]
When he [Dm]has the [A]time
[Asus4]And if he gets to talk t[G]o God[A]
He's gonna [F]give him
[G]A piece of his [A]mind, yeah

[Verse 10]
[Am]He waits tables
She does the cooking
He can remember
Seeing her look [F]so beautiful
Now she's just fading away
[D]

[Verse 11]
[Am]She waits tables
He does the cooking
They don't owe nobody nothing
[F]If [Am]there's a God up
there in heaven
[F]He must have lost his [D]touch
[F]Maybe he's [G]out for lunch

[Verse 12]
[Am]He waits tables
She does the cooking
He [Dm]can r[Am]emember
Seeing her look so [F]beautiful
Now she is just fading away
[D]

[Verse 13]
[Am]She waits tables
He does the cooking
They don't owe nobody nothing
If there's a God up there in heav[F]en
Maybe he's not [D]to blame
[F]Maybe he's changed his [Am]name

[Outro 1]
[Am]
