Intro:
D Bm G

Verse 1:
D
Gate 22, 2 hour delay
D
She was waiting on a plane to L.A
Bm
I didn't see the harm in sitting down
A
At the wrong gate
D

She said hello, where you headed to?
                                  Bm
I didn't lie, but I bent the truth
                              A
Said I'd go anywhere with you
               G
And before long


Chorus:
       D
It was midnight in the middle of JFK
                                             Bm
Trying to take her mind off the fallin' rain
                                        G
I was saying anything to make her laugh

Never wanted anything so bad
D
She got me wishing that she could stay

Doesn't even know that I missed my plane
Bm                             G
Not a single thing I wouldn't trade
                     D
For a ticket to L.A
D                Bm G
A ticket to L.A


Verse 2:
D
She opened up after a drink
D
Said she's starting law school in the spring
Bm
And by the time that she had three
A
I knew almost everything
D
Lightning flashed across the sky
D                                     Bm
I said it probably wasn't safe to fly
                               A
Secretly I hoped that she'd be stuck with me all night


Chorus:
       D
It was midnight in the middle of JFK
                                             Bm
Trying to take her mind off the fallin' rain
                                        G
I was saying anything to make her laugh
G
Never wanted anything so bad
D
She got me wishing that she could stay
D
Doesn't even know that I missed my plane
Bm                             G
Not a single thing I wouldn't trade
                   A  Bm
For a ticket to L.A


Bridge:
                               A
Now gate 22 is calling out her name
               G
She wrote her number on my hand and walked away


Chorus:
D
Alone here in the middle of JFK
D
Sitting at a bar at an empty gate
D
I'd do anything to bring her back
G
Never wanted anything so bad
D
She got me wishing that she could stay
D
Doesn't even know that I missed my plane
                                G
Not a single thing I wouldn't trade
                  D
For a ticket to L.A
             Bm  G
A ticket to L.A
