Intro: G 

verse 1 

On the plane ride home I said, "Why, oh, why 
       C                    G 
Are we bouncing up and down in the sky?"

I held you close with the heart of my gaze

In the beautiful, frightening lightning storm

There was nothing to hold onto

And when they brought the peanuts around

In the beautiful, frightening lightning storm

There's a whole lot baby you can't control

     Faug   G     Dm 
It's been a long

And scary year 
C         G      Dm 
One thing after another 
C                 F     Dm 
Something else to fear 
      Faug       G  Dm 
Well, why should I  
    Faug G    C 
Worry to fly 
              Dm7 
Gonna hang my head down 
    C         F    C 
And cry, cry, cry

I'm gonna hang my head down

And cry, cry, cry

Pretty soon those city lights below 
       C                        G 
Showed through and the wind did blow

In the beautiful, frightening lightning storm
