Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

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

 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, cos every inch you see is

Bruised

Verse

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 am finally waking up.

Chorus

Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes

 That I am not there

 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, cos 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 cos your place isn't far.

 And hours pass, and hours pass.

Yeah, Yeah

Chorus

Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes

 That I am not there

 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, cos every inch you see is

Bruised
