and tomorrows still a night away

I fly over the sea
and the planes I see you

Passed out in my room
your breath is sunny and warm

and tomorrows still cold and gray

keep blowing me kisses over the phone

Note:
Frankly, I can't tell if the intro/transition chords are B-B/A#-G#m-Em or B-F#/A#-
E/G#-Em. I think the first version sounds better, but whatever you like. One of
my favorite songs (and bands). Here's hoping Miles gets his new album out this year.
