[x4] [Verse 1 - repeat main riff] Getting tired from all this circling Not much grace left on a broken wing I feel the wind trying to push me down It happens every time I get to town

So I'm asking you, is it safe [Chorus] C Dm Bb (Is it safe,) is it safe to land? C Dm Bb 'Cause I'm not going far on an empty heart C Dm Bb Is it safe, is it safe to land? C Dm Bb F 'Cause the long fall back to earth is the hardest part [Bridge/Climax] C Bb F I'm in no weather for apologies C Bb F I need your runway lights to burn for me Am Bb And if you say that I can come around Bb I will love you right C Dm Yeah, I won't let you down Dm Bb I won't let you down C Dm Cuz I'm coming home Bb If these wheels touch down C I'm coming home Dm I'm waking you up Bb In the middle of the night I'm not giving up C I'm gonna stay Dm Til we make it work Bb We're not going down, even if it gets worse C Dm We'll work it out Bb Yeah we'll work it out C Dm I need your light Bb Guide me in C - Dm - Bb [repeat until end of song; end on C ] Oooh, ooh oh oh oh Yeah, is it safe? [End] Great song. There is a missing note or chord that has been bugging me - especially during the climax of the song, the note changes at the end of a lyric and I can't figure it out, so if anyone else catches that and can improve this, that would be great! Thanks. :)
