Oh Daddy can you find a highway 
D        G                Bm,      A 
That can lead you to the sky 
Fm               Bm 
You’ve been gone too long 
D                            Bm, 
I know the people love your songs

But I need you tonight

Oh Daddy try to see it my way

I’m still here it’s not that far 
Fm                   D        
I know a way that you can be 
Bm                  D      A 
Sitting right here next to me 
G                   A 
I’ve seen them in the stars

D             Dbm 
They drive so high, 
Bm           A         G 
so fast they fly 
         A 
Don’t ask me how or why 
D               Dbm 
If wishes grew on trees 
Bm                A       G 
There’s only one I’d need 
                A           G 
To bring you to my open arms 
          A            D

My Daddy’s far away from home 
Dbm  D

But I need to hold his hand 
D            G            D   A 
I’ve seen them on the TV 
D                  G           A 
There too big to fit the screen 
Fm                      Bm 
They can take you any place 
A                        G 
Like a ship from outer space 
A            E                A 
And they’ll bring you back to me

And most you won’t believe 
A                       G         A         (G) 
But in my head they’re all so real 
A         G        D 
Oh yes they're so real.
