Tuning: Standard EADGBe


Verse 1:
        Dm             F
We were safe now we're paralyzed
             Dm
Suspended in flight
         F
At this speed it makes no difference
         Dm
Where I start or where I end
                           Bb        Dm   Bb Dm   x4
Or if you're sitting in an emergency aisle


Verse 2:
            Dm                 F
We could be dead complete the equation
              Dm
Our names are x and n
           F
We have no value in these calculations
Dm
Placed on a plane 
                 Bb(hold)
pointed straight down
             Dm
Traveling at five 
hundred feet per second
Bb
Five thousand feet 
from the ground


Chorus:
Am        Bb
  How long  will 
   C          Am       
it take us to hit?
        Bb          C
How fast  until we start 
       Dm          Dm  
the disintegration?


Verse 2: Beat Changes
Am(all the way)
  No time left
Just keep moving
No time left
Just keep moving


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
            Dm
We could be safe now forever
                          Gm
Falling in the clean blue air
Somewhere between the sun 
that gives us light
Bb                    Eb
  And the ground that puts it out
Dm
  And we kneel in the aisles
Press our hands together
Close our eyes 
Gm
  speak these words so softly
       Bb                  Eb
to the blackbox And it goes


Outro:
 Dm
"Mother father can you hear this?
I want to thank you for 
         G
all your sweetness
        Bb
I'm not coming home
Eb                 Dm   G   Bb Eb Dm     D(hold)
never coming home again."
