Intro:

Em
And I
Am D
I called through the air that night
Em D
I couldn't see your voice without light [?]
Am
I could only smile
D
I've been alone some time
Am
And all in all
D
It's been fun
And you
You had hope for me now
I danced all around it somehow
Be fair to me
I may drift awhile
Were it up to me
You'd know why
I
I called through the air that night
[?]
Was it infantile
That which we desire
Were it up to me
I'd row [?] from your eyes
And I
I called through the air that night
My thoughts were still buried in time
We were closer then
I'd been alone sometime
Filled your glass with gin
Filled your heart with pride
And you
You had hope for me now
I danced all around it somehow
Be fair to me
I may drift awhile
If there's a plan for me
Would it make you smile
