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

VERSE 1
E5                                                 A5
A woman on a plane sitting next to me says it's a terrible thing to get old
  E5                                               B5
I asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold
         E5                                          A5
I said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I've been dying since the day I was born
    E5
But there's still one thing worse than that
     A5               B5
it's dying without a warning
     A5                          B5
It's dying without being warned

CHORUS
          C#5                      B5        A5
So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky
E5                                  B5                    ( C5 )
We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives
       C#5                     B5        A5
But if we don't die today then may this memory remain
     E5                                B5                  A5
That every second lived is worth each second of the pain

VERSE 2
E5
Oh flight attendant could you tell me the story of how
A5
you gave up trying to control your fate and rescue yourself
E5
So calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile
A5                                                           B5  A5
If today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile,
         B5      A5   B5
and just smile?

CHORUS
 
BRIDGE
      E5           A5
Hallelujah, Hallelujah (x2)

E5
I never dreamed this life for me, but I am not afraid
A5
At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate
E5
If my work here's complete before we hit the ground
A5
May we sing the truth that sets us free, 'cause every second counts (Repeat)
