Am                    G F
Ain't it foggy outside,
                        Em       G Am
all the planes have been grounded.
                     G F
Ain't the fire inside?
                    Em      G Am
Let's all go stand around it.
                      D
Funny, I've been there,
                    G
and you've been here 
                                 Am
and we ain't had no time to drink that beer.

       Am                       G            
'Cause I understand you've been running from the man 
         D                   Am
that goes by the name of the Sandman.
                         G
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
     D                    Am
of a hurricane that's abandoned.

Am                          G F
Ain't the years gone by fast,
                   Em         G Am
I suppose you have missed them.
                          G F
Oh, I almost forgot to ask,
                         Em   G Am
did you hear of my enlistment?

                      D
Funny, I've been there,
                    G
and you've been here 
                                 Am
and we ain't had no time to drink that beer.

       Am                       G            
'Cause I understand you've been running from the man 
         D                   Am
that goes by the name of the Sandman.
                         G
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
     D                    Am

Am                       G
I understand you've been running.... (repeat and fade)
