Intro:    E    B    A

 
E   B
Oh darling
A                            E
That’s not the way it was planned
E                  B
I know I kept you waiting
    A                    E
I screwed up my timing again
    F#m         G#m        A            B
You told me the fears that were in your head
F#m            G#m        A      B
Sitting there cross-legged on my bed
F#m        G#m      A                    B
Don’t you stay away long that’s what you said



So quickly
Summer ran right into spring
I see your face lying next to me
Just on the edge of my dreams
So tired I can’t explain
I lost something precious that was in my hand
Let it all slip away slow like grains of sand


            C#m
If you’re through with me
    G#m
I guess I’ll see
          A                E
When I’m standing at your door
   B              A
I finally got my balance back
                  B
To where I was before
         C#m            G#m
And I’ve never been so lonely
        A                    
So I’m singing a Skydiggers’ song
        E         G#m   
As I’m eating Arizona dust
     A      B        E
And wishing I was home
 


REPEAT INTRO

Organ solo on bridge chords


It’s too hard to look back
When you don’t like what you see
Pictures of all the people I love
I let them down so casually
You told me all the fears that were in your head
Sitting there cross-legged on my bed
Don’t you stay away long that’s what you said

If you’re through with me
I guess I’ll see
When I’m standing at your door
I finally got my balance back
To where I was before
And I’ve never been so lonely
So I’m singing a Skydiggers’ song
As I’m eating Arizona dust
And wishing I was home

 
E    B    A
 
As I’m eating Arizona dust
And wishing I was home
 
E        B        A
 
As I’m eating Arizona dust
And wishing I was home
 
E        B        A        E
