[Verse 1]
[D]There's a plane, and I am flying
There's a mountain waiting
[Bb]for [D]me[Gm][A][D]
Oh, these years have been so trying
[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]I don't know if I
[C]can [Bb]use [Gm]them
[A]Am I [D]strong enough
To be the [A]one?[C]
Will I live to have some
chil[Bb]dren?[Gm][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
[A]Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down

[Verse 4]
If I [F#m]only knew the a[Bm]nswer
I wouldn't be [G]bothering [A]you
[G]Father[A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
[A]Help me get down
I can [F#]make it
Help me get down

[Verse 6]
If I [Bm]only knew the an[A]swer
And if [G]all our days are [Gm]numbered
Then why do I keep [D]counting?

[Verse 7]
[Bm]
My sugar sweet
[G]Is so att[C#m]ainable
[F#m]This behavior s[Bm]o
[Em]unexplai[A]nable
The [Bm]days just slip and [G]slide
Like they [C#m]always did
[F#m]The trouble is my [Bm]head[Em]
[E]Won't let [Em]me forget
[A]

[Verse 8]
[F#]
I took one last good look [Bm]around
So [A]many un[G]usual sounds
[F#m]I gott[Em]a get my[F#m]
[G]feet on [A]the ground

[Verse 9]
[D]Help me get down

[Verse 10]
I can make it
[D]Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
[A]Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
[C#m]If I

[Verse 11]
[F#m]only knew the a[Bm]nswer
I wouldn't be [G]bothering [A]you
[G]Father[A]

[Verse 12]
[D]
Help me get down
I can make
Help me get [A]down
Help me get down
I can [F#]make it
Help me get down

[Verse 13]
If I [Bm]only knew the an[A]swer
And if [G]all our days are numbered
[Gm]I wouldn't be bothering you

[Verse 14]
Would you [D]help me get down?
[A]

[Verse 15]
[F#]
If I [Bm]only knew [A]the answer
If [D]I change my way of living
[G]And if I pav[Em]e my streets
with good [A]times
Will [D]the mountain keep on giving?

[Verse 16]
[G]And if all[Bm] of our days[A] are
[G]numbered[A][Gm]
Then why do I keep [Bm]counting?
[G]
