Well Cwhat do you know here we Gare aCgainC  Am  G  C  
Been a long time I can't Gremember CwhenC  Am  G  C  
Well I wrote another one and Gguess who it's CforC  Am  G  C  
Don't mind if I'm embarrassed I can't Gtake it anyCmoreC  Am  G  C  
You know I travel the world but I don't Ggo no CplaceC  Am  G  C  
And I got you to blame and the Gsmile on your CfaceC  Am  G  C  
You know I look in your eyes I see a Gpart of me CthereC  Am  G  C  
So excuse my directness, but I Gjust don't CcareC  Am  G  C  
What I Amthink I'm talking about is a Clast ditch chance
Don't Amcare about the likelyhood or Ccircumstance
It seems AmI'm still here and I'm Cwaiting for you
And I've got no Amreason no time and an Cexcellent view
Of your Ameyes in my head and it's Ckilling me
But the Ampossibilities are Cthrilling me
So I guess I'll Amsit right here with nothing Cbetter to do
And to Amtop it all of you know the Fbest part isC  Am  G  C  
I'm gonna let you on in on a big surprise
My heart is where the eagle flies
Yeah I'm the master of my destiny
That's why I need you right here with me
You see I've come to learn that without you around
I might as well be standing on the ground
And with you with me and with me with you
There's not a goddamn thing that we could not do
I'm not talking about us never being alone
I'm suggesting we make the world our home
You've got to fly free and so do I
And this we we'd never need to say goodbye
But instead things like "see you soon"
And "explore and play"
And "the one you love is not far away"
"But safe in your heart to see you thru"
And to top it all off you know the best part is that I
I'm gonna take you take you by the hand
You know even General Custer had to make a stand
I'll drop in from the skies or I'll move in slow
But there's so damn much that I want you to know
So take a look around you tell me what do you see?
Then take those eyes and take a look at me
You know you see things that others don't
So if you think I'll go away I won't
You see my engine's blown and it's time to punt
And there's an element of danger pulling off this stunt
But the survey says that I don't seem to mind
And you're the adventure that I'm trying to find
There's a whole lot of things that other people have said
But I don't care if I'm correct or if it's all in my head
So damn the torpedoes and cock a doodle-doo!
And to Amtop it all off you know the Fbest part is that I Clove youAm  
I'm singing I Clove youAm  
CPleaseAm, I'm down on my CkneesAm  
In the north and the Csouth and the east and the Amwest
Make it the Cvery, very, very, very, very
AmBest, best Fpart

You know I look in your eyes I see a part of me there

G C C Am G C

So excuse my directness, but I just don't care

Am C

What I think I'm talking about is a last ditch chance

Am C

Don't care about the likelyhood or circumstance

Am C

It seems I'm still here and I'm waiting for you

Am C

And I've got no reason no time and an excellent view

Am C

Of your eyes in my head and it's killing me

Am C

But the possibilities are thrilling me

Am C

So I guess I'll sit right here with nothing better to do

Am F C Am G C

And to top it all of you know the best part is

I'm gonna let you on in on a big surprise

My heart is where the eagle flies

Yeah I'm the master of my destiny

That's why I need you right here with me

You see I've come to learn that without you around

I might as well be standing on the ground

And with you with me and with me with you

There's not a goddamn thing that we could not do

I'm not talking about us never being alone

I'm suggesting we make the world our home

You've got to fly free and so do I

And this we we'd never need to say goodbye

But instead things like "see you soon"

And "explore and play"

And "the one you love is not far away"

"But safe in your heart to see you thru"

And to top it all off you know the best part is that I

I'm gonna take you take you by the hand

You know even General Custer had to make a stand

Then take those eyes and take a look at me

So if you think I'll go away I won't

You see my engine's blown and it's time to punt

And there's an element of danger pulling off this stunt

And you're the adventure that I'm trying to find

There's a whole lot of things that other people have said

But I don't care if I'm correct or if it's all in my head

So damn the torpedoes and cock a doodle-doo!
