Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I've got my things, I'm good to go

You met me at the terminal

Just one more plane ride and it's done

We stood like statues at the gate

Vacation's come and gone too late

There's so much sun where I'm from

I had to give it away, had to give you away

And we spent four days on an

Island at your family's old hotel

 Sometimes perfection can be

 It can be perfect hell

 Perfect

(chorus)

 Hours pass

and she still counts the minutes

 That I am not there F

I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this

 Like every inch of me is bruised,

Bruised

Don't fly fast

Oh, pilot can you help me

 Can you make this last?

This plane is all I got

 So keep it steady, now

'Cause every inch you see is

Bruised

(verse 2)

I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle

I take my pills the babies cry

All I hear

 Is what's playing through the in-flight radio

Now every word of every song

I've ever heard that made me

Want to stay

 Is what's playing through the in-flight radio

And I...

 I ...

 Finally waking up

Hours pass

and she still counts the minutes

 That I am not there F

I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this

 Like every inch of me is bruised,

Bruised

Don't fly fast

Oh, pilot can you help me

 Can you make this last?

This plane is all I got

 So keep it steady, now

'Cause every inch you see is

Bruised

(bridge)

So read your books

 But stay out late some nights, some nights

 And don't think that you

Can't stop by the bar

You haven't shown your face here

 Since the bad news

I'm here 'til close, with fingers crossed

 Each night 'cause your place isn't far

(let ring) (let ring)

And hours pass, and hours pass, yeah, yeah

 And she still counts the minutes

 That I am not there F

I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this

 Like every inch of me is bruised

Bruised

Don't fly fast

Oh, pilot can you help me

 Can you make this last?

This plane is all I got

 So keep it steady, now

'Cause every inch you see is

Bruised......yeah......bruised, bruised
