[Verse 1]
Dm           A                    Em
Watching the planes land over the bay
       D                      Dm      Dsus2 Dm
I wish they could hang in the air for ev    er
A                        Em
Holding the patterns for days
       D                                     Dm        Dsus2 Dm
I hope they (hope they, hope they) will be delayed for ev    er

A Em D Dm


[Verse 1 pt 2]
A                     Em          D
Standing alone at the gate, she's late
            Dm    Dsus2 Dm     A
She's miles above some  where, hovering


[Pre-Chorus 1]
              D                 F#
Why won't you write? Write me a word to say
            Bm                        E7
Tell me you miss my ways, tell me you miss my face


[Chorus]
  G              Gmaj7   G6       D
I never meant to clip your pretty wings
G                  Gmaj7 G6        D
Oh, you're pretty, oh, your pretty wings
    E7
And you always knew it, you saw right through it
   G
So why'd you have to go?

[Verse 3]
A                     Em          D
Standing still at the gate, and I ache (I ache I ache)
                  Dm    Dsus2 Dm
My palms are like lakes ris   ing
A                   Em
Wheels drop and she starts to descend
        D                 Dm         Dsus2 Dm     A
And the runway will light her way as she   starts hovering


[Pre-Chorus 2]
             D                     F#
And when she lands, I race for the crashing ground
           Bm                             E7
The oxygen from the mask, that only words hark the past


[Chorus]
G                Gmaj7  G6        D
I never meant to clip your pretty wings
G                  Gmaj7  G6       D
Oh, you're pretty, oh, your pretty wings
           G  Gmaj7 G6       D
We'll be alright,   we'll be alright
           G  Gmaj7 G6       D
We'll be alright,   we'll be alright
    E7
And you always knew it, you saw right through it
   G
So why'd you have to...?
