Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]It[Em][Am][C][B5][Am][Dm][Em][Bb]
was [Am]a plane ride from LAX to [D]O'Hare,
And [Dm]what [F]happened next [Em]was a[Am] series
of unfortunate events.
[D](Please stay tuned for what
[C]happened [B5]next)[Am]
The life I breathe for you gives
to me [D]new [Dm]wounds[F]
Well to [G]patch and dress as [Am]I reflect
[Dm]on what else I could give you.

[Verse 2]
Maybe I should [Am]blindly throw my [G]faith
Into the nex[D]t thing
that comes [F]my way
Standing at the [Am]back door with
the [G]life that she left be[D]hind.
Are we all [Am]the same behind
the [G]frame
Beneath the [D]glass and fake [F]last names?
I've been waiting [D]far too long to [Em]feel the sun
on [F]my [G]back.
[Am][Em][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
[Bb]It was a big bang[G][Am]
And a bright white light
from [D]no [Dm]where.[F]
It turned [Am]my coach class window to
A first class seat on the [D]evening news,
[C]on NBC.
The [Am]life I gave for you is yours
So [Dm]keep it, you oughtta [F]keep it.
If [Am]I had [G]one last chance to take
[Am]it all back
[Dm]You know I'd take take take you.

[Verse 4]
Maybe I should [Am]blindly throw my [G]faith
Into the nex[D]t thing
that comes [F]my way.
Standing at the [Am]back door with the
[G]life that she left [D]be hind.
Are we [Dm]all t[Am]he same
behind the [G]frame
Between the [D]glass and fake [F]last names?
I've been [Dm]waiting [D]far too long to
[Em]feel the sun on [F]my [G]back.

[Verse 5]
"A[C]pologies are all we'll
ever be," [G]she said.
Standing on the [Am]stairs
Looking back, looking [F]hard at me.
[C]"Well, life is long for those who
have to wait," [G]I said.
It's the choice I had to [Am]make.
The choice I had to [F]make.
It's the choice I had [Am]to[D]
[Dm][F][Em][Am][D][C]
(Make)
It [Am]was a

[Verse 6]
plane ride. (plane ride)
It was a [D]plain [Dm]ride. ([F]plain ride)
It [Am]was a plain ride.
Just [D]a plane
[F]

[Verse 7]
Maybe I [Am]should blindly throw my [G]faith
Into the nex[D]t thing
that comes [F]my way.
Standing [Dm]at the ba[Am]ck door with
the [G]life that I'd left [D]be hind.
[Dm]If we know the w[Am]ay we're
gonna [G]die
Through everything [D]else we will [F]survive.
I've been waiting [D]far too long to [Em]feel
the sun on [F]my [G]back-

[Interlude 1]
Yeah
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm][F][Am][D]
[Am][G][Am][Dm][Bb][F]

[Verse 8]
But one day,

[Outro 1]
I will stay.
