Owl City - The Airway

Of June (2007)

Standard tuning - no capo

A Bm F#m

When I am fast asleep

A Bm F#m D

I dream and see you floating high above me

A Bm F#m

And I awake at dawn

A Bm F#m D

Before the rays of morning paint the front lawn

A Bm F#m

From on the bedroom floor

A Bm F#m D

I watch you sailing far above the seashore

A Bm F#m

In deep Atlantic skies

A Bm F#m D A

You float as I look aft to watch the moon rise

Bm F#m

Above the avenue

A Bm F#m D

I search among the clouds, trying to see you

A Bm F#m

But you are just a blur

A Bm F#m D

In the sky when you parachute over the harbor

D A E

I can see

D A E

You above with the ocean around me

D A E

If I could only stay

F#m D A E

Overhead in the airway

D A E

You sail through

D A E

Endless sky with the evening around you

D A E

When I'm out on the bay

F#m D A E

You're aloft in the airway

A Bm F#m

When I'm alone at night

A Bm F#m D

I dream you paint the stars against the twilight

A Bm F#m

Suspended in the air

A Bm F#m D

I wish your silhouette would always stay there

A Bm F#m

When I am on the beach

A Bm F#m D

I watch you held aloft way out of my reach

A Bm F#m

But I can not take flight

A Bm F#m D

Or float upon the air the way that you might

A Bm F#m

When I am in the sea

A Bm F#m D

You gazed down from the sky, trying to see me

A Bm F#m

But I am just a blur

A Bm F#m D

Through the waves, as I scuba dive below the harbor

D A E

The airway

D A E

You and I in the airway

D A E

Aloft in the airway

F#m D A E

In love in the airway

D A E

I can see

D A E

You above with the ocean around me

D A E

If I could only stay

F#m D A E

Overhead in the airway

D A E

You sail through

D A E

Endless sky with the evening around you

D A E

When I'm out on the bay

F#m D A E

You're aloft in the airway
