Chords

[Intro]
Gsus4                   G
Could I be more of a cliché?

               Gsus4/D   
Forty thousand feet above Nebraska

           G
Scratching lyrics on a napkin

D7sus4                              B7
Praying that this turbulence will spare my wine
[Verse]
    Em
The plane is almost empty

        Em/D                              A7/C#
But for three hundred and twenty other humans

    C                            G/D
All staking their existence on a couple of dozen rivets

Dsus4              B7/D#        Em7
Straining between fuselage and wing

  Am7                            Dsus4    D
A fact we’re only coping with by drinking
[Verse]
        G          Bm7
If this plane goes down

  Em7        Dm6/F                  Cm6/Eb
I hope that I’m one of the cool ones

Will I have the nerve to play the clown

If this plane goes down?
[Verse]

If this plane goes down

                           Cm6/Eb
Remember me as someone who tried

          G/D                                 Cm6
To find a balance between self-loathing and pride

G/B                       Am7b5 
Dug too hard for love at times
[Chorus]
   G             B7
So if it ends in flames and fuel

       Em             A9
Please tell my kids I kept my cool

If my time is up and this plane goes down
[Verse]
        G          Bm7
If this plane goes down

As we hit the ground, I wanna be smiling

        G/D            Cadd9/D
Happily Hades bound

        Ebdim7      Em    D
If this plane goes down
[Verse]
        G          Bm7/F#   Bdim/F
If this plane goes down

                            Cm6/Eb
Remember me as someone who cared

           G/D                    Cm6
Often, but not always, about his hair

      G/B                        Am7b5
Self-righteous when shit wasn’t fair
[Chorus]
   G             B7
So if it ends in fire and glass

       Em             A9
Please tell my kids I went down classy

      Am9                 Dsus4       G
If my time is up and this plane goes down
[Bridge]
B/F#                B7b9
I’ve no regrets as such

     Em                 D                C   Am
It’s just a shame, I’ve so much still to do

B7/F#               B7b9             Em
If my youth was wasted on me, I don't mind

           Em/D          A9/C#
Because I wasted it with you, my love

         D              D7              Gm
And from up above this planet looking down

                               Bb/F
The world reduced to green and browns

                          C7/E
Toy trains in paper mache towns

    C                                 F
And just for now the trials of human kind

             Am/E          F7/Eb
Dissolved by altitude and wine

         Bb/D                Bbm6/Db
I really think that I’ll be fine

      C9                   Am/C        D
If my time is up and this plane goes down
[Verse]
        G          Bm7
If this plane goes down

  Em7       Dm6/F             Cm6/Eb
I hope that I can get people laughing

                          G/D         C/D
Will I have the balls to tool around

        Ebdim7     Emadd11    D
If this plane goes down?
[Verse]
        G           Bm7   Bdim/F
If this plane goes down

                          Cm6/Eb
Remember me as someone who went down with

G/D                       Cm6
Fair results, but grand intent

      G/B                           Cm6
Found meaning in how phrases can be bent

       G/D                            Cm6
To the will; where will my remains be sent

       G/D                  Cm6
To be eventually dentally identified?
[Chorus]
   G                     B7
So if this flight should end in tears

        Em            A9
Please tell my kids I felt no fear

   Em                   A9
And tell them that the smoke will clear

                 Em             A9
And tell them I didn’t spill a drop of beer

      Am9                   D  Ebdim7 Em   A7
If my time is up and this plane goes down

      Am9                 Dsus4      Cadd9    G
If my time is up and this plane goes down
