VERSE
       A5                              A5
Let me tell you a little story about a flight attendant
        G5                    A5
who now stands in court as a lone defendant
      A5                 A5
after 20 long years in a job that tough
     G5                       A5
he decided one day that he'd had enough


PRECHORUS
G5            A5
steve had to leave
G5            A5
steve had to leave


VERSE
     
the plane touched down in philadelphia
one of the ladies didnt do what steve had told her to
she went to get her bags while the plane was still moving
steve marched down the aisle all disapproving


PRECHORUS
steve was polite
but he knew he was right


CHORUS
C5                            G5
steve always did the best he could
   A5                                F5
he knew that when he finally left he had to make it good
C5                         G5
steve had an awesome exit plan
A5      G5                   C5
...     steve was a fucking man

PRECHORUS
steve was a bro
steve had to go

VERSE
the old woman didnt do what steve had said
she pulled down her baggage and it hit min in the head
so he went up to the front and he got into the mic
and spoke to all the passangers and called out her bullshite    (lyrics not that 
clear for last few words)

PRECHORUS
steve spoke the truth
with a curse word or two

VERSE
steve pulled down the level and down fell the chute 
then he went to the drinks stall and grabbed a beer or two
just before he jumped out of the plane he turned and yelled
"I'm out of here fuckers and I'll see y'all in hell!"

PRECHORUS
steve was a bro
steve had to go

CHORUS
steve always did the best he could
he knew that when he finally left he had to make it good
steve had an awesome exit plan
...       steve was a fucking man
...       steve was a fucking man            (end on C5 Gadd4 C5 )
