Miles Away by Josh Ritter Guitar Chords

[Intro]
F G C F C G F F G C F C G F F C G F

[Verse]
F G C
Came into this world, I was lost not found
F C G F
It did not hold me in its arms like it holds me now
F G C
So I dreamed myself a bird who could cross the waves
F C G F
And I woke up just a man who was miles away

[Chorus]
F C F C F
Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away

[Verse]
F G C
So I went to Cape Canaveral and I went to the moon
F C G F
And I stayed up there for a year or two
F G C
Famous picture of me above the blue parade
F C G F
A man a million miles up, still miles away

[Chorus]
F C F C F
Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away

[Verse]
F G C
So I went back to Kansas, it was summertime
F C G F
Brought flowers to my family by the riverside
F G C
At the end of his life, they said my father had changed
F C G F
I suppose we could have been friends, but I was miles away

[Chorus]
F C F C F
Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away

[Verse]
F G C
Honey, you don’t belong in a place like this
F C G F
With your long yellow hair and your hips
F C G C
But the look in your eye is like the world from space
F C G F
The way the sun hits off the water from miles away

[Chorus]
F C F C F
Miles away, miles away, miles away, miles away

[Outro]
F C
Honey, can you leave your light on?
C F
Honey, can you leave your light on?
F C
Honey, can you leave your light on?
C F
Honey, can you leave your light on?
F C F
I’m miles away, miles away
C F
Miles away, miles away
