[Verse 1]
D A
Hanging at the airplane hangar
G A
I can't face the funeral hangover
D A
I don't know why I even try
G A
I should know I can never cry
D A
I can't go to the cemetery
G A
And break bread over your body
D A
Why should I bare my soul to strangers
G A
When I never bared my soul to you?
[Chorus]
Em A
Please mister pilot
D Bm
You gotta start up the airplane
G Gm D B
I've got to get away from here
Em A
Please mister pilot
D Bm
You gotta put me back in the sky
G Gm
Where I'll be closer to you
[Verse 2]
D A
Feeling like a coward
G A
I don't wanna see flowers growing on you
D A
But they'll send a car to meet me
G A
As soon as they know I'm here
D A
I don't know the reason why
G A
I already said goodbye
D A
I shouldn't have to do it in public
G A
Or am I just rationalizing?
[Chorus]
Em A
Please mister pilot
D Bm
You gotta start up the airplane
G Gm D B
I've got to get away from here
Em A
Please mister pilot
D Bm
You gotta put me back in the sky
G Gm
Where I'll be closer to you
[Chorus]
Em A
Please mister pilot
D Bm
You gotta start up the airplane
G Gm D B
I've got to get away from here
Em A
Please mister pilot
D Bm
You gotta put me back in the sky
G Gm
I've got to get away from here
[Outro]
D A
(I'm gonna get so high
G A
Up in the sky
D A
I'm gonna get so high
G A
Gonna forget you died
D A
I'm gonna get so high
G A
Up in the sky
D A
I'm gonna get so high
G A D
Gonna forget you died)
