Verse:

Eb
I've got my things, I'm good to go
Gm
You met me at the terminal
Cm            Ab                    Eb   Ebmaj7
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
There's so much sun where I'm from
Eb                   Ebmaj7               Eb                               
I had to give it away, had to give you away.
Eb                           Gm    
And we spent four days on an island
                     Cm
At your family's old hotel.
             Ab
Sometimes perfection can be,
Eb                 Ebmaj7     
It can be perfect Hell,
Ab
Perfect.


Chorus:

Ab
Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
       Eb
That I am not there
                                Ab
I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this
                         Eb
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised.
Ab
Don't fly fast.  Oh, pilot can you help me
        Eb
Can you make this last?  This plane is all I got
           Ab
So keep it steady now, cos every inch you see is 
Eb     Ebmaj7    
Bruised

Verse:

I lace my Chucks I walk the aisle,
I take my pills, the babies cry.
All I hear 
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio
Now every word of every song
I've ever heard that made me want to stay
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio
And I, I am finally waking up.

Chorus

Bridge:

Eb                     Gm
So read your books but stay out late
Cm
Some nights, some nights.
    Eb                   Gm               Cm
And don't think that you can't stop by the bar.
    Eb                 Gm                     Cm
You haven't shown your face here since the bad news.
    Eb                   Gm
I'm here til close, with fingers crossed,
     Ab                   Bb                          
Each night cos your place isn't far.
    Ab              Eb (Ebsus4)
And hours pass, and hours pass.
Ab
Yeah, Yeah

Chorus
