Tune guitar 1 half step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) VERSE 1 E A A woman on a plane sitting next to me says it's a terrible thing to get old E B I asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold E A I said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I've been dying since the day I was born E But there's still one thing worse than that A B it's dying without a warning A B It's dying without being warned CHORUS C#5 B A So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky E B ( C5 ) We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives C#5 B A But if we don't die today then may this memory remain E B A That every second lived is worth each second of the pain VERSE 2 E Oh flight attendant could you tell me the story of how A you gave up trying to control your fate and rescue yourself E So calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile A B A If today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile, B A B and just smile? CHORUS BRIDGE E A Hallelujah, Hallelujah (x2) E I never dreamed this life for me, but I am not afraid A At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate E If my work here's complete before we hit the ground A May we sing the truth that sets us free, 'cause every second counts (Repeat)
