[Verse 1]
[Dm]This hotel bar is full of peop[F]le,
[Dm]The piano man is really laying it down[F],
[Dm]Even the old bartender
is as high as a [F]steeple,
[Bb]So why tonight[A]
should I wear a [Dm]frown?[Dm]
[Dm][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]The joint is jumpin' all aroun[F]d me
[Dm]And my mood is really not in style[F]
[Dm]Right now the blues flock to surroun[F]d me
[Bb]But I'll break[A] out after a while[Dm]

[Chorus 1]
Yes I'm a [F]million miles away
I'm a [Dm]million miles away
[Bb]I'm sailing like a drift[A]wood
[Dm]On a windy bay
Yes I'm a [F]million miles away
I'm a [Dm]million miles away
[Bb]I'm sailing like a drift[A]wood
[Dm]On a windy b[Dm]ay

[Bridge 1]
[Gm]Why ask how I feel,
[C]Well, how does it look to you?
[Am]I fell hook, line and sinker
Lost my [Dm]captain and my crew
[Gm]I'm standing on the landing
[C]There's no one there but me
[Am]That's where you'll see me
[Gm]Looking out on the deep blue sea[C]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Dm][Dm][Dm]
[Dm][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]There's a song on the lips of everybody,[F]
[Dm]There's a smile all around the room,[F]
[Dm]There's conversation over-[F] flowing
[Bb]So why must I si[A]t here with the blues[Dm]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]This hotel bar has lost its peop[F]le,
[Dm]The piano man has caught
the last bus [F]home,
[Dm]The old bartender
just collapsed in the [F]corner,
[Bb]So why must I stil[A]l be here
I don't [Dm]know

[Chorus 2]
I'm a [F]million miles away
I'm a [Dm]million miles away
[Bb]I'm sailing like a drift[A]wood
[Dm]on a windy bay
I'm a [F]million miles away
I'm a [Dm]million miles away
[Bb]Sailing like a drift[A]wood
[Dm]on a windy bay

[Chorus 3]
I'm a [F]million miles away
[Dm]A million miles away
[Bb]Sailing like a drift[A]wood
[Dm]on a windy bay
Well I'm a [F]million miles
I'm a million miles
I'm a [Dm]million miles
[Bb]Sailing like a dri[A]ftwood
[Dm]on a windy bay
