D#                                                G# 
A woman on a plane sitting next to me says it's a terrible thing to get old 
   D#                                             A# 
I asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold 
         D#                                         G# 
I said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I've been dying since the day I was born 
     D# 
But theres still one thing worse than that 
     G#              A# 
it's dying without a warning 
     G#             A# 
It's dying without being warned 
C#                                   A#     G# 
So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky 
D#                                  A#                   B 
We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives 
C#                            A#        G# 
But if we don't die today then may this memory remain 
D#                         A#                             G# 
That every second lived is worth each second of the pain 
D#            F               G             B         D#           F               G               C 
Oh flight attendent could you tell me the story of how you gave up trying to control your fate and rescue yourself 
D#                  F        G               B 
So calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile 
D#             F                G             C            A#    G#        A#     G#    A# 
If today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile, and just smile? 
D#          G# 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
C# 
I never dreamed this life for me but I am not afraid 
G# 
At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate 
D# 
If my work here's complete, before we hit the ground 
A# 
May we sing the truth that sets us free 
'Cause every second counts
