G
Well I wonder what he's doing and if he's falling asleep
C
I wonder if the flight attendant's prettier than me
Am
I know he's coming back but I still didn't want him to leave

[Chorus]
G              C
But it's not a sad thing
G          C
It's not a sad thing
G          Am  C            G
It's not a sad thing at all

[Verse 2]
G
My dear grandmother watches birds every day
C
I can picture her at the window calling out their names
Am
She's got no one else to talk to and I guess that keeps her sane

[Chorus]
G              C
But it's not a sad thing
G          C
It's not a sad thing
G          Am  C            G
It's not a sad thing at all

[Verse 3]
G
An overheard conversation from the table to my left
C
Explaining his tattoos and the ones he hasn't gotten yet
Am
Some of them with meaning but most of them with regret

[Chorus]
G              C
But it's not a sad thing
G          C
It's not a sad thing
G          Am  C            G
It's not a sad thing at all
G             C
No it's not a sad thing
G          C
It's not a sad thing
G          Am  C            G
It's not a sad thing at all
