We were all going insane because
[COMPANY]
      Bb              C
There wasn't squat to do
[JOEY]
         Dm
Then the captain starts apologizing

He's giving each and everyone some...

   Dm
We didn't know where we were
[COMPANY]

Open the airplane doors

C
Wave at all the locals

Bb                                         C

[KEVIN T]
D             E                       D
...Because we didn't want to share it.
Anyway, this woman, this hot mess behind us,

kept completely freaking out
[DELORES] I don't understand why they can't let us off.
D
I mean, just to stretch our legs?! I mean, really?

          F#m                 E
I need to get some air! Oh my God, I need to get off this plane!
[KEVIN T]

It was cute for a while. Anyway, Kevin was not dealing with it well
[KEVIN J]

                                   F#m                      E
Excuse me?! I would like to get off the plane. I am claustrophobic!
[KEVIN J] Excuse me, would you like some Xanax? N.C. Because you are freaking out and it is freaking me out
                                 E
and we are all freaking the fuck out!

Let a little air in here

Open the airplane doors

The flight attendants keep telling us nothing's wrong.

               Em                            C
Well, I've got kids, and I've got grandkids, I know when someone's hiding something.

                                                                Em

[DIANE]
    C
No, of course. I'm Diane
[NICK]
     D
Nick. How are you doing?
[DIANE]
                                    Em
I'm...worried about someone. He was flying today.

                                           Bm
I just wish there was some way to tell him where I am
[NICK]
                                                    C
Newfoundland. Oh, no, you know that. You just can't tell him. Right.

                                                          D
I'm hoping you're one of those people who laughs when English people say awkward things
[DIANE]
  C
I just wish we knew what was happening
[ACTOR 2]
       D
What's happening?
[ACTOR 5] What's happening? [DIANE & NICK]
Em
Somewhere in between
[DIANE, spoken]
     D
Your life
[NICK, spoken] And your work [COMPANY]
         C                    D
When the world may be falling apart
And you think [DIANE]
     C
I'm alone
[NICK] I'm alone [DIANE & NICK]
        D
And I'm so damn helpless
[COMPANY]
        C                      D
There's nothing left to do but drink
[PARTY GIRLS]
            C
We open the airplane doors

D
Flash all the cars

C                            D
Whoo! I've never done that before!
[COMPANY]
             C
Twenty-eight hours

     D
God! Over an entire day

C
Running out of things to say

    D
And wondering if there's someone

         C
Going to clue us in

D
Tell us all what's happening

  C
Because the sun is setting

          D
And we're sitting in the dark

            Em
Wherever we are
[BOB]
                                                                     D
Later that night, I'm up in the cockpit with some of the other passengers
when the pilot puts the radio on over the intercom,
        C                                          D
and the whole plane goes silent when the president gives his speech
[PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, spoken]
B                            A                 E
I ask the American people to join me in saying thanks

                  B
for all the folks who've been fighting hard to rescue our fellow citizens

            F#                            E
and to join me in saying a prayer for the victims and their families.

B                                        C#m
The resolve of our great nation is being tested, but, make no mistake,

B                                   E               F#
we will show the world that we will pass this test. God bless
