Standard tuning, capo on 4th fret. 

Intro: A5 , F5

A5                        F5
Standing in the corridor, it's just another day
A5                                 F5
You never were the kind of boy who ran outside to play
C5                                  F5
You're passing through the kitchen behind your mother's back
          G5   F5                     C5             
While she says "your father's on the plane"

The rain against the windows, you're waiting on the stairs
You double check the driveway for someone standing there
You calculate the chances of presents on your bed tonight
Daddy's on his way

E5              G5
Daddy's on the plane
C5
Soon you'll meet again
E5              G5
Daddy's on the plane
C5             
That's what mother said
               F5      ( Bb5 , D5 , Bb5 , D5 ) 
While you were waiting

Solo: A5 , F5 , A5 , F5 , C5 , F5 , G5 , F5 , C5 (same as verse) 

Nothing ever happens in your neighbourhood
You'd like to run so far away if you only could
It seems that all the people have nothing much to say anyway
Daddy's on his way

Daddy's on the plane
Soon you'll meet again
Daddy's on the plane
That's what mother said
While you were waiting
