Empty Plane Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am][F][Em]
[F][Am][F][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
I leave for a [G]living
It’s what we all [Am]do
And I [F]say that I’m missing the
[G]ones that [Am]I’m leaving
And I always do
[G]

[Verse 2]
[F]
But another [G]truth is that [F]you
Begin [G]again every time you [F]fly
[G]There’s peace in the [F]airport
Sitting at a [G]gate by a door [F]to the sky
So it’s hard, but it’s not [G]hard
Fumble for your ID, credit card
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[F]
But then I walked on [G]to
But then I walked on [F]to
Then I walked on [G]to
An empty plane
[Am][Em][Am]
[Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 4]
[F]
And the girl at the Starbuck[G]s
Looked like she knew [Am]me
She [F]poured a design on the
[G]foam of my [Am]coffee
And she was [F]smiling[Am][G]

[Verse 5]
[F]I said “It’s funny how [G]life
at its best ex[F]panse
Ex[G]plodes, and [F]it overspills
But we [G]try to fit it all in a [F]grid
And we [G]say it’s the strength
[F]of our will”
And she started laughing
[G]She said “Look I made a wing,
and an[Am]other [G]win[F]g”

[Verse 6]
And then I walked on [G]to
Then I walked on [F]to
Then I walked on [G]to
An empty plane
[Am][F][Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 7]
[Am][Em]
I was [F]moving fast now, [G]understanding
[Am]So much kindness, no[Em] fru[F]stration
I asked [G]the screener:
"Does my life have a [Am]destiny?[A]
Or just [Dm]a destination?"
I thought [G]I’d step away from my traveling

[Verse 8]
[Am]
Have a little [G]time to con[C]nect the [F]dots
See my [G]life like a [F]spiral
The [G]DNA of my dreams and [F]thoughts

[Verse 9]
And [F]I
Be[G]lieved
In a [Am]legacy[F]

[Verse 10]
But I stood in the jet [G]bridge
And the young man [C]nodded[F]
I looked at the name [G]tag
And [Am]said [F]“Hello, Angel”

[Verse 11]
It was all empty seats [G]now
Nothing in the [Am]overhead
I [F]sat near the front and I
[G]started [Am]sleeping
And I woke in my own bed
[G]

[Verse 12]
[F]
And I [G]said “Oh it’s a dream
But a [F]dream that grows like a [G]vis
ion from a [F]single spark”
And I [G]thanked my dream at[F]tendants
And I [G]rose and I dressed in the [F]dark
It was an early one [G]today
