Verse:
 DbDb            GbGb    AbAb          DbDb
 My parents must have thought they had a crazy kid

              GbGb   AbAb             DbDb
'Cause I was one of those kids who always knew what I wanted

 AbAb        GbGb
 They took me down to the airport to see all the planes departing

 DbDb
Watching them fly something inside of me was starting

 GbGb                       AbAb
 I was eight when I told them that I'd be a pilot

        GbGb
But I was too young and too short

 GbGb
And there were no female captains

    DbDb
And my dad said, "be patient" he said, "just see what happens"

    GbGb
But I took my first lesson came down from the sky

      AbAb N.C.
And told my father I'd fly for the rest of my life
    GbGb
And I got my first job flying for a mortician

   DbDb
In a tiny bonanza, just a corpse and me

    GbGb
Five dollars an hour for flying dead bodies

     DbDb                AbAb
I had to climb over their faces just to get to my seat


Pre-Chorus:
   GbGb             DbDb
And suddenly the wheels lift off

            GbGb
The ground is falling backwards

      AbAb
I am suddenly alive

Chorus:
 BbmBbm           AbAb
Suddenly I'm in the cockpit

 GbGb
 Suddenly everything's changed

 BbmBbm           AbAb
Suddenly I'm not too young or too short

     GbGb           AbAb
And the passengers in the back dN.C.on't complain

 BbmBbm           AbAb
Suddenly I'm flying company charters

 GbGb
 Suddenly everything's high

 BbmBbm             AbAb      DbDb   GbGb  AbAb
Suddenly there's nothing in between


Verse:
 DbDb      GbGb    AbAb           DbDb
 American Airlines had the prettiest planes

     GbGb
So I applied as a flight engineer

           AbAb
But the World War II pilots, they all complained

               GbGb
They said, "girls shouldn't be in the cockpit"

              DbDb
"Hey lady, hey baby, hey! Why don't you grab us a drink?"

     GbGb
And the flight attendants weren't my friends back then

             DbDb            AbAb
And they said, "Are you better than us, do you thinN.C.k?"


Pre-Chorus:
   GbGb
But I kept getting hired

     AbAb
And the World War II crew, they retired

     GbGb                 AbAb
And the girls all thought much higher of me N.C.

             GbGb         AbAb
1986 the first female American captain in history


Chorus:
 BbmBbm           AbAb
Suddenly I'm in the cockpit

 GbGb
 Suddenly I've got my wings

 BbmBbm            AbAb
Suddenly all of those pilots protested me

     GbGb           AbAb
Well they can get their own driN.C.nks!

 BbmBbm             AbAb
Suddenly there's no one saying "stay grounded"

 GbGb
 Looking down, passing them by

 BbmBbm             AbAb      DbDb   GbGb  AbAb
Suddenly there's nothing in between


Bridge:
        AbAb
Suddenly I've got an all female crew

             GbGb           AbAb
The news talked, it made headlines across the world

       BbmBbm
Suddenly it stopped

           AbAb
No one saying, "You can't" or "You won't"

     GbGb             AbAb
Or "You know you're not anything 'cause you're a girl"


Outro:
 GbGb           AbAb
Suddenly I'm getting married

          GbGb               AbAb
And we're putting pins on the map where we've flown

 GbGb         AbAb
Suddenly I am a mother

       GbGb               AbAb
And suddenly shocked at how much they've grown

 GbGb                AbAb
Suddenly I'm wondering how my parents would feel

      GbGb          AbAb
Seeing me teaching men to be pilots

    GbGb         AbAb            BbmBbm
'Cause suddenly I am a senior instructor and somehow I'm 51

 GbGb           AbAb
Suddenly I'm flying Paris to Dallas

      GbGb           AbAb
Across The Atlantic and feeling calm

   GbGb           AbAb
When suddenly someone on air to air traffic says

   GbGb           AbAb
"At 8:46 there's been a terrorist action"

     GbGb               AbAb          BbmBbm
And the one thing I loved more than anything was used
 GbGb          AbAb
Suddenly I'm in a hotel

 GbGb            AbAb
Suddenly something has died

 GbGb              AbAb              DbDb
Suddenly there's something in between me and the sky
