[Intro]
A A A A
[Verse 1]
A
Standing in that silent hall
A
Waitin' for that final call
A E
Says he doesn't love me, anymore
E7
Shakin' hands, I pack a bag
E7
Tremblin' voice, I call a cab
E7 A
Slowly I start walkin', through the door
A A6
The cab arrives, he blows his horn
AM7 A6
I stumble out in the early morn'
A A E
Tell him of the place I've got to go
E7
Hit a hundred signal lights Peterbilts in a traffic fight
E7 A A*
Gettin' to these doors has been so slow.
[Chorus]
N.C. D
L.A. International Airport
E7 A
Where the big jet engines roar
E7
L.A. International Airport
E7 A
I won't see him anymore.
[Verse 2]
A
Stewardess in a mini-skirt Hippie in a leather shirt
A E
Starlet on her way to Naples, Rome
E7
While I'm wonderin' where it's at I see a Paris diplomat
E7 A
College kids are tryin' to get back home
A A6 AM7 A6
Baggage car goes quickly by, see my case and I start to cry
A E
Stumble to the lounge to be alone
E7
And while I'm tryin' to get some rest I bite my lips and try my best
E7 A A*
To fight the pain that's makin' me leave home.
[Chorus]
N.C. D
L.A. International Airport

Where the big jet engines roar
E7
L.A. International Airport
E7 A F#7
I won't see him anymore.
[Verse 3]
B
With Silver wings across the sky Vapor trails that wave goodbye
B F#7
To those below who've got to stay at home
F#7
I wish that I had flown at night, so I could take that Champagne flight
B
Rid myself of every tear I've owned
B B6 BM7 B6
Soaring high above the heavens in a seven-forty-seven
B F#7
Fighting back the tears that curse my eyes
F#7
Captain's voice so loud and clear amplifies into my ear
F#7 B B*
Assuring me I'm flying friendly skies.
[Outro]
N.C. E
L.A. International Airport
F#7 B
Where the big jet engines roar
F#7
L.A. International Airport
B
I won't see him anymore.
