Tom: D

            D
    Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
            Em                           A
    roaring engines headed somewhere in flight.
                         D
    They're taking you away, and leaving me lonely,
           Em        A                       D
    silver wings        slowly fading out of sight.
          Em         A          D          G         D
    Don't leave me I cry, don't take that airplane ride,
            E
    but you    locked me out of your mind,
                                 A
    and left me standing here behind.
