This is a really easy song consisting of only 4 chords (just a D#m in the intro). I play this on acoustic,
tuning, no capo. Barre chords sound the best to me, and that's how I transcribed it. Enjoy :)

[Verse 1]
F# C# G#m B
The bird is here, and we are off
F# C# G#m B
To wherever those wings take us
F# C# G#m B
The atmosphere is crawling with airlines
F# C#
That wind through the clouds
G#m B
And look down on the crowds
F# C# G#m B
Relax your back and let the noise
F# C# G#m B
Sing you to sleep in my arms
F# C# G#m B
If you awake before we arrive
F# C#
I will carry you down
G#m B
and I won't make a sound

[Verse 2]
F# C# G#m B
The scent is strong as we move on
F# C# G#m B
And breathe in the pristine crime scene
F# C# G#m B
The false veneer is old like a substitute
F# C# G#m B
Volunteer from, oh, some other year
F# C# G#m B
I'm just a show as far as I can tell
F# C# G#m B
So I paint my eyes a light green
F# C# G#m B
The silver beams are twirling and swirling
F# C# G#m B
Throughout your dreams like air traffic streams
