E (022100@1)                                               AA (x02220@1)woman on a plane sitting next to me says it's a terrible thing to get old
  E (022100@1)                                             BI (x2444x@1)asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold
         E (022100@1)                                        AI (x02220@1)said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I've been dying since the day I was born
    EBut (022100@1)there's still one thing worse than that
     A (x02220@1)             Bit's (x2444x@1)dying without a warning
     A (x02220@1)                        BIt's (x2444x@1)dying without being warned

E (022100@1)                                B (x2444x@1)                  (C5)
We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives
       C#5 (x133xx@4)                   B (x2444x@1)      ABut (x02220@1)if we don't die today then may this memory remain
     E (022100@1)                              B (x2444x@1)                AThat (x02220@1)every second lived is worth each second of the pain

VERSE 2
EOh (022100@1)flight attendant could you tell me the story of how

EI (022100@1)never dreamed this life for me, but I am not afraid
AAt (x02220@1)35,000 feet I make my peace with fate
EIf (022100@1)my work here's complete before we hit the ground
AMay (x02220@1)we sing the truth that sets us free, 'cause every second counts (Repeat)
