Verse 1:
D                                                 A
Blown down the highway by two different winds
D                                            G

Lord only knows when I'll see you again
D                                                A
You're about as close as the stars up above
                   G                              | G G G D | G
You're my long distance love

G                      D        G                              A
Kentucky Bluebird, I heard your song today
G                             D                       A      G
But when I try to touch you, you fly away

Verse 2:
D                                A
Blue is a feeling I'm learning so well
D                               G
Turn on the TV in another hotel
D                                              A
Turn down the volume and stare at the wall
           G                                | G G G D | G
God I wish you would call

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Bm                      A
How I hate the miles between us 
G              A                   D
They get longer each day
Bm                                    A                   
I had this dream and you should have seen us
G                                        A                     ...D | G
Holding each other and drifting away

(Chorus) 2X

G              D
You fly away
