A Year on an Airplane Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]We flew over the cas[Am]cades
We were forced to behave [C]while
we sat in rows [G]like children
I crossed some standard [Am]state lines
I finally found my[C]self so far
away from [G]home

[Verse 2]
And even though New England in[Am]trigued us,
thrilled [C]us
Our bones were cold as stick and [G]stones
We flew over [Am]the cascades
Just to find [C]ourselves in storms

[Verse 3]
we've never known
[Am]
The winds were like a beast with
wing[D]s and yes
Everything was blown so far [Am]away
And [A]I f[Am]ell down,
[A]I f[Am]ailed to [D]cut its neck

[Verse 4]
[G]
Even after [Am]hours of waiting
There was no [C]telling when
the storm would find its way
[D]The [G]lands we tried to [Am]memorize
Were no [C]longer wrapped in

[Verse 5]
tepid shades of red
[G]
And through the night the
[Am]storm held me down
And bit [C]my neck and said
it'd be [G]okay
I stared into [Am]the fury
And the [C]beauty of its overwhelming

[Verse 6]
strength
[Am]
[A]The wind[Am] s were like a beast
with wing[D]s and yes
Everything was blown so far [Am]away
And I fell down,
[D]I failed to cut its neck

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][Am]
[C][Am]
[C]

[Verse 7]
I saw a dim [C]light in the mouth of the [Am]beast
So I followed it in, it was too late to retreat
[C]It swallowed me whole
and my flesh became meat
[Am]And I can't look back now 'cause the
beast has come [G]clean

[Verse 8]
We flew over [G]the cascades
[Am]We're forced to behave
