Verse 1:
        D5             F5
We were safe now we're paralyzed
             D5
Suspended in flight
         F5
At this speed it makes no difference
         D5
Where I start or where I end
                           Bb5        D5   Bb5 D5   x4
Or if you're sitting in an emergency aisle


Verse 2:
            D5                 F5
We could be dead complete the equation
              D5
Our names are x and n
           F5
We have no value in these calculations
D5
Placed on a plane 
                 Bb(hold)
pointed straight down
             D5
Traveling at five 
hundred feet per second
Bb5
Five thousand feet 
from the ground


Chorus:
A5        Bb5
  How long  will 
   C5          A5       
it take us to hit?
        Bb5          C5
How fast  until we start 
       D5          D5  
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:
            D5
We could be safe now forever
                          G5
Falling in the clean blue air
Somewhere between the sun 
that gives us light
Bb5                    Eb5
  And the ground that puts it out
D5
  And we kneel in the aisles
Press our hands together
Close our eyes 
G5
  speak these words so softly
       Bb5                  Eb5
to the blackbox And it goes


Outro:
 D5
"Mother father can you hear this?
I want to thank you for 
         G5
all your sweetness
        Bb5
I'm not coming home
Eb5                 D5   G5   Bb5 Eb5 D5     D(hold)
never coming home again."
