Kisses At Airports

F                                 A#     C
You don’t know if it’s hello or goodbye
      F                                     A#   C
What kind of tears they are when they get cried
A#
All you know is somebody is coming or leaving
C
It don’t really matter whatever the reason
F                                   A#   C
Something about them gets me every time

[Chorus]
           F                  Dm
Kisses at airports, wide-open car doors
           A#                       C
So slow to let go, wrapped up with eyes closed
               F                          Dm
Some mean "I missed you," some mean "I’m going to"
                  A#                   C
But somehow they mean more, kisses at airports

[Verse]
F                                                   A#     C
There was a crayon cardboard "Welcome home, Daddy" sign
F                                               A#     C
When he got the deployed, she was just two pink lines
A#
And now it’s sunburned lips on ten little fingers
C
And one for her mama, yeah, that one lingers
F                                                   A#        C
I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one at baggage claim to cry

[Chorus]
           F                      Dm
Kisses at airports, thanking the good Lord
                A#                       C
You didn’t die out there without seeing that curly red hair
                    F                      Dm
And that’s why you hang on and that’s how you make it home
                  A#                  C
Got something to live for, kisses at airports

[Bridge]
A#
When you dropped me off, I was running late
         C
I just grabbed my bags and ran to the gate
A#
But what if I had never landed
C
How many times do we take for granted?

[Outro]
           F                  Dm
Kisses at airports, wide-open car doors
                    A#                       C
No I don’t want to let go, I just want to make sure you know
                   F                            Dm
This one means I miss you, this one means I’m going to
      A#                                 C
Make every one I give you, baby, be a little more
                  F                         Dm    F
Like kisses at airports. Like kisses at airports
