INTRO: G  Bm  C  Am

                G
Your eyes would shine, Amelia
      Bm
And I mistook it for love
         C               Am
When you asked me to go
        G
As your celestial navigator
         Bm
We would round the earth together 
        C               Am
I would work the radio
         D               Em                C
Oh, but Amelia all those miles were just a sum
         D           Em           C
You were living on a runway, what were you running from?


      G
But I loved you open-hearted
      Bm
And I held your hand at night
      C                     Am
High above the Pacific Sea
                 G
Still, it's like you were flying solo
          Bm
And I was only standing by
        C                Am
On your flight of fancy
             D                 Em             C
Never looked back 'til we were running out of fuel
        D              Em          C
We were running out of land, I was running out of you


CHORUS:
Em         C
Oh, Amelia, but don't I feel like a clown
     G
Ohh, you went down in history
      D
Well, me, I just went down
          Em           C
Oh oh oh, sweet Amelia, you will never be found
       G
Didn't even know your own heart
         D                      G
Hey, but it don't matter now, hmmmm



Your sustenance was fame and
         Bm
You were starving for a thrill
     C                Am
Not afraid of a thing
                G
Couldn't you've wished upon a rainbow
          Bm
Just like everybody else?
               C                 Am
But you had to wish on lightning
         D            Em             C
Ohh, and I was just a pawn in your adventure
        D            Em          C
Oh, and I was just a casualty of a stubborn will


CHORUS:
Em          C
Oh, Amelia, but don't I feel like a clown
     G
Ohh, you went down in history
      D
Well, me, I just went down
          Em           C
Oh oh oh, sweet Amelia, you will never be found
       G
Didn't even know your own heart
         D  
Hey, but it don't matter now


           G
The more I think about it now
          Bm
It's only up above the clouds
         C                  Am
That our love was ever real
           G
And as the mist grew thicker
       Bm
At the static's eerie silence
   C                 Am
My heart stood still
            D                   Em                 C
Oh, and the last thing that you said was, you were sorry
  D          Em        C
I did it for love, you did it for glory


CHORUS:
Em         C
Oh, Amelia, but don't I feel like a clown
     G
Ohh, you went down in history
      D
Well, me, I just went down
          Em           C
Oh oh oh, sweet Amelia, you will never be found
       G
Didn't even know your own heart
         D                      C  G
Hey, but it don't matter now, hmmmmm
