[Verse 1]
They're in the front [Am]seat,
[C]he's got the[F] radio low
And [Am]the moon hangs over [G]Idlewild
[C]as the pla[F]nes touch down
He is talk[Am]ing, [C]but she's not[G] lis[F]tening
She is [Am]thinking of [G]her father,
[C]who[F] died when she was young
[Am][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[F]
And I'm [G]in [Am]the back seat,
[G]they think I'm[F] sleeping
But I am [Am]listening for the cracks
between [C]their [F]voices in the dark
We are a fam[Am]ily, [G]we are a shipwre[F]ck
And we're [Am]picking up my [G]grandma
who [F]is getting very [Am]old[G][F]

[Verse 3]
And they think she's [Dm]dying
But I [Am]think she's laughing
I think she's [Dm]riding Halley's Comet
from fort [G]Lauderdale to here
But when I see [Dm]her
I'll [F]keep her [Am]secret
[Dm]We all have our secrets that we ke[G]ep inside

[Verse 4]
They built this air[Am]port,
[G]but in a few yea[F]rs
They'll [Am]name it after [G]Kennedy,
the one [F]who died today
And he will [Am]leave her,
[G]and she will suf[F]fer
And they will [Am]never really [G]know each
[F]other [Am]at a[G]ll[F]

[Verse 5]
They think [Dm]we're driving
But I know we're [Am]drifting
They think we're [Dm]off on some adventure
where the her[G]o saves the day
We think we're spe[Dm]cial
We think [F]we're [Am]golden
We think we're [Dm]walking on the moon but we are
[G]dancing in the dark

[Interlude 2]
[G][Am][G][F][Am][G]

[Verse 6]
We shoot our [Am]rockets,
[G]we shoot our pre[F]sidents
We shoot the [Am]commies and the [G]niggers
[F]and the Vietcong
Everything [Am]changes,
[G]everything sta[F]ys the same
And [Am]the moon hangs over [G]idlewild as [F]the planes [Am]touch [G]down
