I met her on a plane
                      Cmaj7
I had forgotten I was made of glass
                                 F
I watched the cars and crows and cities pass
Em7       Dm7                           C/G
You know, I watched the sun till I was blind
Dm7                           C/G
I tried to drive her from my mind
    Dm7                    G7                         C
But I kept seeing her and I disappearing in the scenery

C Em7 F                G  C
I was humming, humming inside
C   Em7 F              G          C
Mmm mmm humming, I was humming inside

She told me of her pain
She did not know that I was hearing her
She did not know that I was nearing her
You know the sun it did remain
And from the glaciers to the plain
Her eyes burned bluer than the skies that still exist over Nevada
