D
Why try? I know why
     C                  G        A#         A
The feeling inside me says it's time I was gone
Clear head, new life   ahead
I want to be king now not just one more pawn

Chorus:
G       D       C        G
Fly by night, away from here
G          D     A
Change my life again
G       D         C      A
Fly by night goodbye my dear
     C          G           A#           A
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend

Moon rise, thoughtful eyes
Staring back at me from the window beside
No fright or hindsight
Leaving behind that empty feeling inside

Chorus - x2

 D
Start a new chapter
 F
Find what I'm after
       G             D
It's changing every day
      Am
The change of a season
     F
Is enough of a reason
    G
To want to get away

 D
Quiet and pensive
     F
My thoughts apprehensive
     G            D
The hours drift away
  Am
Leaving my homeland
  F
Playing a lone hand
    G
My life begins today

Chorus:
Fly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye, my dear
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
Fly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye, my dear
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
