Airplanes

Em    C  G
Em    C  G

[Chorus]
                       Em
Can we pretend that airplanes in the
 night sky
             C            G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em           
I could really use a wish right now
                  C              G
 (wish right now, wish right now)
                       Em
Can we pretend that airplanes in the
 night sky
             C            G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em           
I could really use a wish right now
                  C              G
 (wish right now, wish right now)

[Verse 1]
      Em
Yeah! I could use a dream or a genie
 or a wish
   C                  G
To go back to a place much simpler 
than this
      Em
Cause after all the partyin’ and 
smashin’ and crashin’
C                  G
 And all the glitz and the glam and 
the fashion
Em
   And all the pandemonium and all 
the madness
C                      G
  There comes a time when you fade 
to the blackness
Em
  And when you’re staring at that 
phone in your lap
        C                      G
And you hopin' but them people never
 call you back

Em
  But that’s just how the story 
unfolds
    C                G
You get another hand soon after you 
fold
Em
   And when your plans unravel in 
the sand
           C            G
What would you wish for if you had 
one chance?

   Em
So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm 
late
Continues after the ad

    C            G
I'm on my way so don't close that 
gate
   Em
If I don’t make that then I’ll 
switch my flight
             C
And I’ll be right back at it by the 
end of the night

[Chorus]
                       Em
Can we pretend that airplanes in the
 night sky
             C            G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em           
I could really use a wish right now
                  C              G
 (wish right now, wish right now)
                       Em
Can we pretend that airplanes in the
 night sky
             C            G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em           
I could really use a wish right now
                  C              G
 (wish right now, wish right now)

[Verse 2]
         Em
Somebody take me back to the days
                  C             G
Before this was a job, before I got 
paid
               Em
Before it ever mattered what I had 
in my bank
                     C             
Yeah back when I was tryin’ to get 
      G
a tip at subway

                    Em
And back when I was rappin’ for the 
hell of it
                  C              
But now a days we rappin’ to stay 
      G
relevant
                            Em
I’m guessin that if we can make some
 wishes outta airplanes
              C                  G
Then maybe yo maybe I’ll go back to 
the days

             Em
Before the politics that we call the
 rap game
                      C            
And back when ain’t nobody listened
       G
 to my mix tape
                  Em
And back before I tried to cover up 
my slang
                     C             
But this is for the hater, what's 
  G
up Bobby Ray

               Em
So can I get a wish to end the 
politics
                    C         
And get back to the music that 
         G
started this shit
           Em
So here I stand and then again I say
                  C
I’m hopin’ we can make some wishes 
outta' airplanes

[Chorus]
                       Em
Can we pretend that airplanes in the
 night sky
             C            G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em           
I could really use a wish right now
                  C              G
 (wish right now, wish right now)
                       Em
Can we pretend that airplanes in the
 night sky
             C            G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em           
I could really use a wish right now
                  C              G
 (wish right now, wish right now)
