[Opening]
[Am]Home for seven days and I haven’t even seen your [F]face
I guess I’ve got a flight to [C]change, there ain’t nothin’ left to [G]say
[Am]If you really don’t have it figured out by [F]now
There’s no need for me to hang [C]around, I’ve gotta get out of [G]town

[chorus]
[C]Five dollar drink and a lonely window [Em]seat, half empty plane on New Years [Am]Eve
Love birds in the row in front of me [F]are driving me crazy
[C]The pilot comes on, says the year is almost [Em]gone
Five, four, three, two, [Am]one, looks like it’s just me and the [F]whiskey
‘Cause you ain’t here to [C]kiss me, [Em]you ain’t here to [Am]kiss me [F]

[verse 2]
[Am]Raise a toast to the thought of you and [F]me, this was just the way it had to [C]be
90 proof to give me [G]clarity, [Am]the flight attendant must know that somethings going [F]on
Can’t hide the look of love gone [C]wrong, so she’s pouring them a little [G]strong

[chorus]
[C]Five dollar drink and a lonely window [Em]seat, half empty plane on New Years [Am]Eve
Love birds in the row in front of me [F]are driving me crazy
[C]The pilot comes on, says the year is almost [Em]gone
Five, four, three, two, [Am]one, looks like it’s just me and the [F]whiskey
Cause you ain’t here to [C]kiss me, [Em]you ain’t here to [Am]kiss me [F]

[Closing]
At [G]least we had a chance to know how it feels to [Am]love
But it turns out love ain’t always [F]enough, so I’ll start getting over [G]you

[chorus]
[C]Five dollar drink and a lonely window [Em]seat, half empty plane on New Years [Am]Eve
Love birds in the row in front of me [F]are driving me crazy
[C]The pilot comes on, says the year is almost [Em]gone
Five, four, three, two, [Am]one, looks like it’s just me and the [F]whiskey
‘Cause you ain’t here to [C]kiss me, [Em]you ain’t here to [Am]kiss me [F]
You ain’t here to [C]kiss me [Em] [Am] [F]
