Couplet: C#m G#m F#m A B

Refrain: E B A F#n A B

Intro: Piano
C#m

C#m
I won’t try to argue now
G#m                          F#m

Anyway I feel there’s nothing I could say
A     B
To ease your mind

C#m
Maybe there’s nothing exciting outside
G#m                        F#m

But round here I’m just wasting my time
A            B

Pinning round on nothing new

C#m            G#m          F#m

When i close my eyes i remember that kiss
B
I’d rather keep them wide open
C#m             G#m

& if i miss that train do you really think
F#m         A       B

That even here, I’d be closer to you

Refrain
C#m      G#m F#m A     B

So,  here I am,        leaving soon
C#m   G#m    F#m A B

I’m standing at   gate  22

E       B        A        F#m  B

Cuz whatever you may think I forgot
You know I’m still thinking about it
Sometimes I wish I could stay
But no matter where I go, no matter how long
You know I’ll keep hanging on. Sweet memories.

I’m leaving but my mind will stay

C#m
At gate 22

C#m           G#m    F#m    A  B

There’s too many dreams I must chase down

Though sometimes I bite off more than I can chew

I know you’d like to keep me near

I know it’s easier to be two

         A                  B

But I can’t plan my life all around you
I’m weaker than I let you know
So don’t ask me to jump this wall
From here it looks too tall
Two people kissing goodbye facing a door
A classic picture we’re all tired of

Refrain

So, here i am, leaving soon
I’m standing at gate 22
Cuz whatever you may think i forgot
You know i’m still thinking about it

Sometimes i wish i could stay
But no matter where i go, no matter how long
You know i’ll keep hanging on. Sweet memories.
I’m leaving but my mind will stay
At gate 22

I already see the picture of that day
When you’ll say that you’ll wait for me
And i’ll pretend just then to believe you
I’ll send you post cards for a few weeks and then
Another perfect moment at the wrong time
But the timing is always wrong

Refrain

So, here i am, leaving soon
I’m standing at gate 22
Cuz whatever you may think i forgot
You know i’m still thinking about it

Sometimes i wish i could stay
But no matter where i go, no matter how long
You know i’ll keep hanging on. Sweet memories.
I’m leaving but my mind will stay
At gate 22
