[Pre-Chorus]
D A
And suddenly the wheels lift off
D
The ground is falling backwards
E
I am suddenly alive
[Chorus]
F#m E
Suddenly I'm in the cockpit
D
Suddenly everything's changed
F#m E
Suddenly I'm not too young or too short
D E (strum once)
And the passengers in the back don't complain
F#m E
Suddenly I'm flying company charters
D
Suddenly everything's high
F#m E N.C. A D E
Suddenly there's nothing in between me and the sky

think?
[Pre-Chorus]
D
But I kept getting hired
E
And the World War II crew, they retired
D E
And the girls all thought much higher of me
N.C. D E
1986 the first female American captain in history
[Chorus]
F#m E
Suddenly I'm in the cockpit
D
Suddenly I've got my wings
F#m E
Suddenly all of those pilots protested me
D E N.C.
Well they can get their own drinks!
F#m E
Suddenly there's no one saying "stay grounded"
D
Looking down, passing them by
F#m E N.C. A D E
Suddenly there's nothing in between me and the sky
[Bridge]
E
Suddenly I've got an all female crew
D E
The news talked, it made headlines across the world
F#m
Suddenly it stopped
E
No one saying, "You can't" or "You won't"
D E
Or "You know you're not anything 'cause you're a girl"
[Outro]
D E
Suddenly I'm getting married
D E
And we're putting pins on the map where we've flown
D E
Suddenly I am a mother
D E
And suddenly shocked at how much they've grown
D E
Suddenly I'm wondering how my parents would feel
D E
Seeing me teaching men to be pilots
D E F#m
'Cause suddenly I am a senior instructor and somehow I'm 51
D E
Suddenly I'm flying Paris to Dallas
D E
Across The Atlantic and feeling calm
D E
When suddenly someone on air to air traffic says
D E
"At 8:46 there's been a terrorist action"
D E N.C. F#m
And the one thing I loved more than anything was used as the bomb
D E
Suddenly I'm in a hotel
D E
Suddenly something has died
D E A
Suddenly there's something in between me and the sky
