Some of the other tabs for this song may be correct as well but I found them to be unnecessarily difficult and think this tab should be easy for most people and sounds to me pretty much on point.

C
I've got my things, I'm good to go

Em
You met me at the terminal

Am            F                   C               G
Just one more plane ride and it's done

C
We stood like statues at the gate

Em
Vacation's come and gone too late

Am              F
There's so much sun where I'm from

C                   G   
I had to give it away, had to give you away

C
And we spent four days on an 

Em                            Am
Island at your family's old hotel

             F                C
Sometimes perfection can be

                  G
It can be perfect hell

         F
Perfect

(chorus)

(F)
Hours pass

and she still counts the minutes

       C    
That I am not there             F

I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this

                         C
Like every inch of me is bruised,

G
Bruised

F
Don't fly fast

Oh, pilot can you help me

        C  
Can you make this last?

This plane is all I got

           F
So keep it steady, now

'Cause every inch you see is

C             G
Bruised

(verse 2)

C
I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle

Em
I take my pills the babies cry

Am
All I hear

          F 
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio

C
Now every word of every song

Em
I've ever heard that made me 

Am
Want to stay

          F
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio

C
And I...

Em I Am...

               Am
Finally waking up

F
Hours pass

and she still counts the minutes

       C    
That I am not there             F

So read your books

    Em                         Am
But stay out late some nights, some nights

    C
And don't think that you

Em                Am
Can't stop by the bar

C                      Em
You haven't shown your face here

              Am
Since the bad news

C                         Em
I'm here 'til close, with fingers crossed

Each night 'cause your place isn't far
