Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
EbGm I just stepped on a plane my bags on the shelf CmAb I find my seat in the middle and plan to keep to myself EbGm The pilot comes on says there's been a delay CmAb And I sigh buckle up and prepare for the wait
EbGm There's a middle-aged woman on my right by the window CmAb No ring on her finger maybe divorced or a widow EbGm She's drafting an email and from where I am seated CmAb I can side-eye that shit so of course I'm gon' read it
It said EbGm Dear McCracken… CmAb This is already great dude's got a pen pal and a killer last name EbGm She opens with an inside joke and she's hopin' CmAb to set a casual tone her words carefully chosen EbGm She was sure that her week spent in Houston would drag CmAb but then a face from her past quickly changed all of that EbGm The trip was for business she's used to the travel CmAb but this time she's not ready to head back to Seattle
EbBbCm Dear McCracken I'd rather be off this plane AbEb I can't admit the half of it that I want to say Bb Do I pretend Do I push you away CmAb I'm jet laggin' McCracken and I'll give you I'll give you your space
EbGmCmAb
EbGm I can tell by the abuse of the backspace key CmAb there's a heart balanced on how her words are perceived EbGm She's retyped that fourth paragraph four times CmAb Swinging the tone back and forth until she's so satisfied EbGm That he knows that even though their paths have diverged CmAb There's an air of regret but not enough to reverse
EbGm And I am stunned there I sit completely convinced CmAb That once you grow old you stop dealin' with this EbGm The uncertain the hurtin' the feelin like dirt CmAb When things don't work out by the fall of the curtain EbGm She hits send powers off and we're ready to go CmAb And I am sad for the passion that McCracken he might never know
EbBbCm Dear McCracken I'd rather be off this plane AbEb I can't admit the half of it that I want to say Bb Do I pretend Do I push you away CmAb I'm jet laggin' McCracken and I’ll give you I'll give you your
EbBbCm Dear McCracken I'm keepin' this on my chest AbEb I said a lot of things but none of them what I meant Bb Do I pretend Do I try to forget CmAb I'm jet laggin' McCracken and I wish you I wish you the best
EbBbCmAb
EbBbCm And I thought I thought by that age Ab Our broken hearts had seen their worst EbBbCm And I thought that kind of heartache was meant Ab For the young but we're never too old to hurt
EbBbCm And I thought I thought by that age Ab Our broken hearts had seen their worst EbBbCm And I thought that kind of heartache was meant Ab For the young but we're never too old to hurt
[Instrumental] EbGmCmAb
EbGm I just stepped off a plane I've got one regret CmAb I know I'll never get closure or ever see how it ends EbGm No I won't know his answer what happens between them CmAb And why she kept her cards so close even she couldn't see them EbGm What gave her such pause When she so clearly wanted CmAb To tell you all the emotions she tried so hard to bottle EbG7 And I'll never know why she kept the honest truth from you Cm But oh Dear McCracken Bb In the rough draft Ab Oh in the rough draft Eb In the rough draft she loved you
