G D/F#
She took the middle seat
Em7 D
Introduced herself to me
C G/B Am7
Said, "When we're ten-thousand feet, I'm buying"
G D/F#
"Get me off the ground
Em7 D
I prefer looking down
C G/B
Like a bird heaven-bound
Am7
I love flying"

"A little buzz will get your mind off the crash"
C G/B Am7
From some chairs in the sky we both laugh
Chorus:
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
It's a wonder we all get where we're going
C G/B
Right where we're meant to be
Am7 D
Even when it's hard to see
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
Half the fun of it all's not knowing
C G/B
So take a drink, have a laugh
Am7 G/B
Make some good from the bad
C G/B Am7
Enjoy the ride while you're passing through

There's something 'bout the girl

And the way she sees the world

A beautiful bird's-eye view

Always got a song to sing

When I reach the other side

I could be one
C
And fly back home
G/B Am7
When I'm done with all this leaving"

Mm mm mm mm mm
