Intro: E5 G5 A5  D5  x 2

E5             G5
When the time comes 
A5                     D5
That you're no longer here 
E5               G5
Fall down to my knees 
A5             G5
Begin my nightmare 
E5                           G5
Words spill from my drunken mouth
A5                       D5 
I just can't keep'em all in 
E5                        G5
I keep up with the racing rats
A5                 D5
And do my best to win

intro again

(same as verse 1)

Slow down little one 

You can't keep running away 

You mustn't go outside yet 

It's not your time to play 

Standing at the edge of your town

With the skyline in your eyes

Reaching up to god
    A5                D5     E5 
The sun says its goodbyes


     C5             D5             E5 
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C5             G5
How big a hole would it leave 
       D5                   
In the surface of the earth 

(same as verse 1)

Let's pretend we never met 

Let's pretend we're on our own 

We live different lives 

Until our covers blown 

I push my hand up to the sky 

Shade my eyes from the sun 

As the dust settles around me 
         A5             D5 E5 
Suddenly nightime has begun 


     C5             D5             E5 
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C5             G5
How big a hole would it leave 
       D5
In the surface of the earth 

The surface of the earth 


E5     C5
Come on now 
    G5             D5
You knew you were lost
        E5     C5     G5 D5
But you carried on anyway
   E5     C5
Oh come on now
    G5               D5
You knew you had no time 
        E5     C5        G5   D5    E5
But you let the day drift away 


     C5             D5             E5 
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C5             G5     E5
How big a hole would it leave 
     C5             D5             E5
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C5             G5
How big a hole would it make 
       D5
In the surface of the earth 

The surface of the earth
                       E5
The surface of the earth
