Yeah it's been one of those days. It's going to turn into one of those nights.

When I'm feeling this kind of low I can throw some vinyl on the stereo.

Roll up my worries and watch them all go up in smoke.

I'm taking that red eye flight. I'm going to be burning bright.

Like a seventy forty seven through the northern lights.

Thirty five thousand feet aint gonna have nothing on me.

Cadd9         G                     D                 Em 
There's a bar right down the street that serves every kind of alcohol. 
Cadd9       G                             D 
But sitting there drinking isn't going to work at all. 
Cadd9           G                 D                  Em 
So I'm taking a trip right now, I don't even have to leave the house.

I've got my window seat right here on the couch.
