Eb
I've got my things, I'm good to go
Gm
You met me at the terminal
Cm                Ab                      Eb Bb             
Just one more plane ride and it's done


Eb
We stood like statues at the gate
Gm
Vacation's come and gone too late
Cm                  Ab                  Eb Bb
There's so much sun where I'm from
                                            Eb Gm Cm Ab
I had to give it away, had to give you away


Eb
And we spent four days on an
Gm
Island at your family's old hotel
Cm                Ab          Eb         
Sometimes perfection can be
                      Bb              Ab      
It can be perfect hell, perfect...


Eb                                             Bb      
Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes

That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
Cm
For it to feel like this
                              Gm
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
Eb                                                Bb
And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?

Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
      Cm                  
So keep it steady, now
                              Gm      Ab
Cause every inch you see is bruised

I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle
Gm                              Cm
I take my pills, the babies cry
            Ab               Eb      
All I hear is what's playing through
Bb
The in-flight radio
Eb
Now every word of every song
Gm                              Cm

Ab               Eb

The in-flight radio, and I
        Gm                     Cm Ab      
And I am , finally waking up


Eb                                             Bb      
Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes

That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
Cm
For it to feel like this

That you can't stop by the bar
Eb                                                  Gm

Cm
Well I'm here till close, with fingers crossed
      Ab
Each night cause your place isn't far


Eb                  Bb                              Cm Gm
And hours pass, and hours pass, yeah, yeah... 
Eb                                          Bb
