Standard (EADGBE)

The Melody under the first bridge goes like this:

Verse 1

Cross San Fran border on the speedway

Fly into Paris on a new plane

A pirate laughed at me in L.A

 Then I'm smiling at you.

Bridge 1

I couldn't tell you why

 Couldn't tell you why....

Verse 2

I just been bowling in Nebraska

Not to far from Lincoln border

I met some vessels in Atlanta

Who are aligning with you

Bridge

Couldn't tell you why

 Couldn't tell you why I was so cold

With you then.

Couldn't tell you why

Bm D7 --Slide-- D7/D (Slide to 5th)

Couldn't tell you why I was so cold

Chorus

Don't think you're miles and miles away

 It's just a thought on a worried day

Don't cry, miles and miles away

 We still love you at home

 But you're not here now.

 We still love...

Bridge

Couldn't tell you why

 Couldn't tell you why I was so cold

With you then.

Couldn't tell you why

Bm D7 --Slide-- D7/D

Couldn't tell you why I was so cold

Chorus

Don't think you're miles and miles away

 It's just a thought on a worried day

Don't cry, miles and miles away

 We still love you at home

 But you're not here now.
