 F        Fmaj7     Gm
I see you from the sky
   Dm                          A#             Gm C
And I wonder how long it will take me to get home
F             Fmaj7              Gm
I wait for an hour or so at the carousel
          Dm           A#
I have a cigarette to pass the time
            Gm          C
Cause the traffic's hell

Chorus:
F                      Am
I don't want anything more
                                         Cm
Than to see your face when you open the door
                                                 Gm
You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea
                                  F
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
                                   Am
Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk
                                       Cm
And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk
                                     Gm
I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep
                    C              F
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

You wipe the tears from my eye
And you say that all that it takes is a phone call
I cry at the thought of being alone and then
I wonder how long it'll take till I'm home again

Chorus

I know it doesn't seem so fair
But I'll send you a postcard when I get there
