[A]
[E] I don't wanna hear [A] a love song I [F#] [Dm] got on this airplane [A] just to fly
And [E] I know there's life below me But all you can show [A] me is the prairie and
the sky [E] And [A] I don't wanna hear a sad story
[F#m] But [D] all you can [A] desire The [E] last time I felt like this
I was in [Bm] the wilderness [A] The engine was on fire
[E] [F#m] And I stood [B] on my own [D]
In the night and [A] I watched it burn
I [E] watched it burn I [A] watched it burn
[D]
So in the [A] bosom of Abraham I would [E] hold my life in his [A] saving grace
I would [D]
wait from [A] Woodland to Birmingham If I [E] thought I could [A] see
I could see your face [E]
Wait, [A] you really got me this time
[E] [F#m] And the hardest part [D] is miles [A] to fly And I [E] come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as [D] they move down [A] out of 95
[F#m] And pretend that [B] it's the ocean [D] Coming down to wash me [A] clean
To [E] wash me clean Baby, [Bm] you know [A] what I mean
I [F#m] would offer [D] my soul In the bosom [A] of Abraham
I would hold [E] my life in his [A] saving grace I would walk [D] away from [A] Woodland to Birmingham
If I thought [E] I could see [A] I could see your face
If I [E] thought I [A] could see I could see your [E] [A] face
[D] [E] [A]
