Tune guitar 1 half step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

VERSE 1
E                                                 A
A woman on a plane sitting next to me says it's a terrible thing to get old
  E                                               B
I asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold
         E                                          A
I said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I've been dying since the day I was born
    E
But there's still one thing worse than that
     A               B
it's dying without a warning
     A                          B
It's dying without being warned

CHORUS
          C#5                      B        A
So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky
E                                  B                    ( C5 )
We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives
       C#5                     B        A
But if we don't die today then may this memory remain
     E                                B                  A
That every second lived is worth each second of the pain

VERSE 2
E
Oh flight attendant could you tell me the story of how
A
you gave up trying to control your fate and rescue yourself
E
So calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile
A                                                           B  A
If today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile,
         B      A   B
and just smile?

CHORUS
 
BRIDGE
      E           A
Hallelujah, Hallelujah (x2)

E
I never dreamed this life for me, but I am not afraid
A
At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate
E
If my work here's complete before we hit the ground
A
May we sing the truth that sets us free, 'cause every second counts (Repeat)
