    A                         G         A               G
The man said I could ride the wing, and I said that was fine.
          A                 G               A  
He said, 'I'll confirm your reservation and put the plane on
G

  A                        G     A              G
I walked into the washroom and I built myself a fire..
A                G             A                   G
threw on lots of paper and the flames kept gettin' higher.

Next day I thought that I would leave, so I packed 
           G
my things again.

I waited fourteen hours for a taxi to come in.
  A                       G                 A         G
I spotted one that wasn't full, and I threw myself in fast.

The driver said, 'I'm sorry, but this taxi's out of gas!'

CHORUS:        
A          D                        E
If I can't leave here, I just might stay..
         B7             E              A    G A G
and that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home.
