But I  wan-na see you a-gain

Tomorrow’s back to work 
and down to sanity
should run a bath
and then clear up the mess
I made before I left here
Try to remind myself
That I was happy here
Before I knew that I could
Get on a plane and
Fly away from the road
Where the cars never
Stop going through the night
To a life where I can watch the sunset
And take my time 
Take all our time
To chorus

Two weeks a-way, all it takes

-3   -3   -3   -3  4 -3  -3

To change and turn me a-round
