[G][Gm][G]
[Gm][G][Gm][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Sitting [Gm]on
the wings of [G]a 7[Gm]47 airplane
[G]Just back from Newtow[Gm]n Connecticut,
Cincin[G]nati and Champaign
[Gm]It was nice hanging out in those
[G]cities with some of my friends
Get up [Gm]on stage and play
[G]beautiful music with them

[Verse 2]
[G]Now I'm looking out [Gm]the window
[G]where Robin Williams died
Passed him once [Gm]in a car
on Thanksgiving day
Was [G]with my [Gm]girlfriend [G]at the time
[Gm]Who sadly passed away just be

[Verse 3]
[G]
fore she turned 35
That's when I learned [Gm]the world's unfair
[G]And that things aren't always rig[Gm]ht

[Verse 4]
It fucked me up, and [Gm]for weeks
[G]I couldn't get out of bed
[Gm]The world don't owe us shit,
I learned that real fucking [G]young
And I [Gm]learned it [G]again
Had [Gm]to make the best of every day and every
mo[G]ment while you can
[Gm]Can't seize the beauty in life,
cause baby
You don't [G]know when it's gonna end

[Verse 5]
[Gm]When I'm feeling overwhelmed
and [G]things are stacking up in [Gm]mind
[G]Her picture's always nea[Gm]r me,
and I [G]look at it every day of my life
[Gm]Think about what she would have
given to live [G]just another [Gm]year
To see her baby turn one,
and when I think [G]about it
I swallow my tears
Had lunch the [Gm]oth er day with my

[Verse 6]
[Gm]
drum[G]mer friend named Steve
[Gm]We talked about music and traveling,
[G]and he's always good to see
[Gm]When you're my friend,
[G]I got your back for life
Try to hurt any[Gm]one I care about,
I [G]might slice you up real [Gm]nice

[Verse 7]
I'm housesitting a 14- year- [G]old
cat named Pete
[Gm]My girlfriend's friend is off in[G] Spain
and she left him with me
And he lays [Gm]on my bed and we
gaze in[G]to each other's eyes
And [Gm]I fall into that kitty cat [G]spell,

[Gm][G]
Just [Gm]back from Austin, Texas; Chicago,

[Verse 12]
[Gm]
Illinois; Winnipeg
[?] I saw all my friends down there and
we played "I Got You Babe"
And we sang songs about oxen,
[G]baby Jesus, shepherds and hay
And I [Gm]remembered when I was a kid
in Ohio [G]on Christmas Day
One time I got a [Gm]guitar

[Verse 13]
and that
[G]was the start of my life
My [Gm]dad always got me one gift,
and I still carry around [G]that shiny fish[Gm]ing knife
Sitting on the wings of a United Airline
Just back from Lincoln, Salt Lake City and [G]Orlando,
where I had a good time
Did [Gm]that one alone with a guitar,

[Verse 14]
[Gm]
and a snare and a tom
Brought a volunteer up to play drums
She said that her day job was a mom

[Verse 15]
Just back from the doctor where [Gm]I
weighed in [G]at 203
Just [Gm]turned 48 baby,
gotta [G]ad mit it kinda concerns me
[Gm]So I'm trying to eat better,
walk a few more miles and [G]exercise more
[Gm]It's

[Verse 16]
[G]the first week of [Gm]February,
[G]1: 28 AM
It was [Gm]12 years ago in San
Francisco one night
That I lost my friend
There ain't a day that goes by I don't
pause [G]and think about her
I'm getting older [Gm]baby,
but I try to count my [G]blessings

[Outro 1]
It's a beautiful world
