[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
Bb Am
We were leaving L.A. airport
Gm F
Me and Midland's misery
Bb Am
On an early morning plane flight out
Gm F
To some radio X.Y.Z.
[Verse 2]
Bb Am
Was a 1950's prop-job
Gm F
That had seen much better days
Bb Am
When we came on in to the last approach
Gm F
Saw the runway through a haze
[Chorus]
Dm Eb F
And the wheels ain't coming down
Dm Eb Bb
All of my nine lives passed before my eyes
Dm Eb F
And the wheels ain't coming down
Dm Eb Bb C
And you realize you wanna stay alive
F Bb
You wanna stay alive
[Break]
F Bb F Bb x2
F
[Verse 3]
Bb Am
Women weeping, children playing
Gm F
As we roared into a climb
Bb Am
Men was praying, we was drinking lots
Gm F
And it never cost a dime
[Verse 4]
Bb Am
Altered course for San Francisco
Gm F
Standing by on a red alert
Bb Am
Gonna chance a landing on the sea
Gm F
Hoping nobody gets hurt
[Chorus]
Dm Eb F
And the wheels ain't coming down
Dm Eb Bb
All of my nine lives passed before my eyes
Dm Eb F
And the wheels ain't coming down
Dm Eb Bb C
And you realize you wanna stay alive
F Bb
You wanna stay alive
[Break]
F Bb
Wanna stay alive
F Bb F
Stay alive
[Verse 5]
Bb Am
We applauded Chuck the captain
Gm F
When our feet had touched the ground
Bb Am
And I won't forget the moment he said
Gm F
It's OK folks, the wheels are coming down
[Chorus]
Dm Eb F
And the wheels they're coming down
Dm Eb Bb
And you realize it's good to be alive
Dm Eb F
And the wheels they're coming down
Dm Eb Bb C
And you realize you're gonna just survive
F Bb
It's good to be alive
[Outro]
F Bb
It's good to be alive
F Bb
They're coming down
F Bb
They're coming on down
F Bb
They're coming on down
F Bb
They're coming on down
