Despair In The Departure Lounge

	  		
Intro: D F#m Em A7 

     D 
He's pining for her 
     F#m 
In a people carrier  
               Em 
There might be buildings and pretty things to see like that 
    A7 
But architecture won't do  
            D 
Although it might say a lot about the city or town 
        F#m 
I don't care what they've got keep on turning them down  
         Em 
It don't say the funny things she does 
           A7 
Don't even try and cheer him up, because 
              D 
It just won't happen  

D F#m Em A7 

             D 
He's got the feeling again 
             F#m 
This time on the aeroplane  
               Em 
There might be tellys in the back of the seats in front 
    A7 
But Rodney and Del won't do 
            D  
Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains 
              F#m 
Laugh when he falls through the bar but you're feeling the same  
           Em 
'Cause she isn't there to hold your hand 
             A7 
She won't be waiting for you when you land  

                    Bm           G 
It feels like she's just nowhere near  
    Bm                        G 
You could well be out on your ear  
                   Bm                      E 
This thought comes closely followed by the fear  
        G          F#m 
And the thought of it 
          Em     A7 
Makes you feel a bit Ill  

D F#m Em A7 

D 
Yesterday I saw a girl 
    F#m                                 Em 
Who looked like someone you might knock about with 
           A7 
And almost shouted  
         D 
And then reality kicked in within us 
   F#m 
It seems as we become the winners  
    Em 
You lose a bit of summat 
         A7 
And half wonder if you won it at all 

                    Bm                  G 
And don't say 'owt 'cause you've got no idea 
          Bm            G  
And she's still nowhere near  
                      Bm                      G 
And the thought comes closely followed by the fear  
        G          F#m 
And the thought of it 
          Em     A7 
Makes you feel a bit

...Ill  

   D             Em 
Despair in the departure lounge 
     F#m             G        F#m       Em 
It's one and they'll still be around at three 
                  A7 
No signal and low battery  
(no chords)
