Tom: G G Well I wonder what he's doing and if he's falling asleep C I wonder if the flight attendant's prettier than me Am I know he's coming back but I still didn't want him to leave [Chorus] G C But it's not a sad thing G C It's not a sad thing G Am C G It's not a sad thing at all [Verse 2] G My dear grandmother watches birds every day C I can picture her at the window calling out their names Am She's got no one else to talk to and I guess that keeps her sane [Chorus] G C But it's not a sad thing G C It's not a sad thing G Am C G It's not a sad thing at all [Verse 3] G An overheard conversation from the table to my left C Explaining his tattoos and the ones he hasn't gotten yet Am Some of them with meaning but most of them with regret [Chorus] G C But it's not a sad thing G C It's not a sad thing G Am C G It's not a sad thing at all G C No it's not a sad thing G C It's not a sad thing G Am C G It's not a sad thing at all
