F#m D E A   A D E A


[Verse 1]
F#m          D          E           A     F#m            D         E             A
   There's a plane, it's headed for London,  twenty-four hours more and he'll be on it
F#m            D           E             F#m    A             D      E A
   And I can't show my love, and I can't stop it. Oh, I can't stop it


[Verse 2]
F#m          D          E            A      F#m         D          E           A
   There's a house there, somebody's waiting,  somebody else's arms will wrap around him
F#m            D     E              F#m       A              D        E A
   And in that moment, what will he think then, when I can't touch him


[Chorus]
F#m         D             E         A
   Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
F#m         D                  E           A
   Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
F#m           D          E             F#m
   All that I really know is that he's goin'
A            D      E            F#m F#m D E A
Too far from Texas, too close to home


[Verse 3]
F#m     D        E           A      F#m               D                E             A
   In a room just outside of Houston,  that's where I spend my nights, trying to get through to him
F#m             D          E         A     F#m             D    E             A
   He says he's comin' back in every letter,  but he might never, no he might never


[Chorus]
F#m         D             E         A
   Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
F#m         D                  E           A
   Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
F#m           D          E             F#m
   All that I really know is that he's goin'
A            D      E            F#m F#m D E A
Too far from Texas, too close to home


[Bridge]
D                 E         A               D
 Does he know how long I've waited for this love to come
D                        E      F#m                  G#m               F#m D E A
Does he know I'm holdin' on and that won't change no matter where he's gone


[Instrumental]
F#m D E A   F#m D E F#m
A D E A


[Chorus]
F#m         D             E         A
   Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
F#m         D                  E           A
   Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
F#m           D          E             F#m
   All that I really know is that he's goin'
A            D      E            F#m F#m D E A
Too far from Texas, too close to home


[Chorus]
F#m         D             E         A
   Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
F#m         D                  E           A
   Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
F#m           D          E             F#m
   All that I really know is that he's goin'
A            D      E            F#m F#m D E A
Too far from Texas, too close to home


[Outro]
F#m            D              E              A                F#m      D  E A
   Couldn't I, couldn't I wait, couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day
F#m            D              E              F#m              A        D E A
   Couldn't I, couldn't I wait, couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day
