[Verse 1]
G             Fmaj7  C   D
Up on the airplane
G                Fmaj7  C    D
Nearer my God to Thee
G                Fmaj7  C    D
I start making a deal
G                Fmaj7 C  D
Inspired by gravity (inspired by gravity)

[Refrain]
G                       C
If I did wrong, I won't do it again
               G                 C
Cause I can be sweet and good and nice
     C/B     Am                Am7
And if I had enemies, they're friends
                C               A7        D
I hold on, to my life, with the grip of a vice...

[Verse 2]
G               Fmaj7 C  D
And I'm up the airplane (up on the airplane)
G                 Fmaj7 C  D
Nearer my God to Thee (nearer my God thee) (count on the plane)
G                 Fmaj7 C  D
I start making a deal
G            Fmaj7 C  D
Inspired by gravity (inspired by gravity)

[Refrain]
G                                 C
That little spot on the ground is my home town
G                                C
Like to call it my home and it's sweet
     C/B     Am             Am7           C
I'd rather take a seat down there than a throne up here
         A7        D
Up above 30,000 feet...
G                  Fmaj7   C   D  G                 Fmaj7    C    D
And I'm up on the airplane...

[Bridge]
F                          C
I never should've read my horoscope
        D                        G   C  G
Or the fortune on the bubblegum strip
         F                    C
Saying, "what you think won't happen will"
                  D
Great thing to read before a trip...
G         Fmaj7  C    D
On an airplane

[Instrumental]
G             Fmaj7  C   D
G             Fmaj7  C   D
G             Fmaj7  C   D
G             Fmaj7  C   D

[verse 3]
 G                                   C
Pilot says the big blue sky's like a swimming pool
G                         C
Big fluffy cloud's like a feather bed
        C/B           Am           Am7
But I'd rather have a real pillow underneath my head
            A                       A7
Lying in my bed, which is in my hometown
                  D
Which is on the ground

[Outro]
G             Fmaj7  C   D
Far from an airplane (My bed, my hometown)
G             Fmaj7  C   D
Far from an airplane (On the ground. My bed, my hometown)
G             Fmaj7  C   D
Far from an airplane (On the ground. My bed, my hometown)
G             Fmaj7  C   D
On the airplane [On the ground] [I'll be making a deal]
G             Fmaj7  C   D
I'm up on the airplane (On the ground) (I'll be making a deal)
G             Fmaj7  C   D
On the airplane (I'll be making a deal)
G
(I'll be making a deal)
N.C.
