[Verse]
C     (C)         F      G         Am 
14A, window seat, tennis shoes and faded jeans. 
C              F                  C              G 
Nervous as he tells me it's his first time on a plane. 
C               (C)                F        G           Am 
We took off and headed East, I was thumbing through the magazines. 
C              F           C                  G 
  He felt like talking and offered me his name.
[Pre-Chorus]
     F         C      Gsus4 
So I asked him how he was 
       F          C         Dm 
And he smiled and said, Well son,
[Chorus]
          F                 C 
I've been better, I've been worse 
      Am                  G 
I've chased after pretty girls 
F             C             Dm 
Seen a couple places that I never though I'd see 
     F                  C                      G      G#dim  Am 
I've walked into harder times, and I've walked out the other side 
         F               C                F 
It seems like you end up getting what you need 
F                       C      F                          C 
Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life's been good to me
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
C                            F       G       Am 
I've been out a month or so, another night, another show 
C                     F            C                 G 
One hundred different cities, they all just seem the same 
C                                 F       G      Am 
He asked me what it must be like, singing songs under the lights 
C                  F                 C              G 
Well, it's got its moments, just the same as anything
[Pre-Chorus]
          F       C       G 
I miss my town, I miss my wife 
           F         C       Dm 
But I'm up here with you tonight
[Chorus]
            F                C 
I've been better, I've been worse 
       Am              G 
I have loved a pretty girl 
F             C              Dm 
Seen a couple places that I never though I'd see 
     F                   C                     G      G#dim  Am 
I've walked into harder times, and I've walked out the other side 
         F               C                F 
IT seems like you end up getting what you need 
F                       C      F                           C 
Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life's been good to me 
  C  C   F - C  Am   C   F   C  G    
                Good to me
[Bridge]
     F               Am          F              C 
Sometimes we can get lost living in the here and now 
F                      Am       Bb                  F 
Sometimes it takes the sky to see what's on the ground 
 C   C   F  C   Am     C    F   C   G   
[Chorus]
            F                C 
I've been better, I've been worse 
       Am              G 
I have chased after a pretty girl 
F             C              Dm 
Seen a couple places that I never though I'd see 
     F                   C                     G      G#dim  Am 
I've walked into harder times, and I've walked out the other side 
         F               C                F 
IT seems like you end up getting what you need 
F                       C      F                           C 
Yeah, looking down from 30,000 feet, life's been good to me
[Outro]
 C    F  C   Am        F   C    G   C     
                Good to me
