(guitar riff #1 x2)

C#                               F#      

just before the afternoon creeps in

C#                                   F#       

just before it gets too hot to be outside


  B       B/A#      G#m

I like to lay on my back in the grass and

B         B/A#        G#m       G#

watch the airplanes go by and I dream
 
                Bm   F#  B                   C#

that you are an airplane shooting across the sky

D#         G
        
you are an airplane

         G#         A#        G#m

you’re a strong and dangerous machine

         D#                    G

when you fall you’ll fall down so fast

         G#      A#              Cm

when you crash I want to go down with you

      G#                   A#

we’ll make such a horrible mess

| C# | F# | C# | F# |

(guitar riff #1 x2)

C#                      F#

just before the eyeball appears

C#                                 F#

just before the little birds go to sleep

B         B/A#        G#m     

I like to stand on my head and pretend

     B  B/A#        G#m            G#            Bm F#         

that I am a control tower and that you are an airplane

      B                      C#

and I talk you safely to the ground

D#         G
        
you are an airplane

         G#         A#        G#m

you’re a strong and dangerous machine

         D#                    G

when you fall you’ll fall down so fast

         G#      A#              Cm

when you crash I want to go down with you

      G#                   A#

we’ll make such a horrible mess

    Am               G                 F

the way you live your life makes me nervous

   F                   

if you were to die

| A# |

F   A          A#        Am

I’d have no reason to be alive

       Am              Gm

'cause you are my only friend

(guitar riff #2 x2)

D#         G
        
you are an airplane

         G#         A#        G#m

you’re a strong and dangerous machine

         D#                    G

when you fall you’ll fall down so fast

         G#      A#              Cm

when you crash I want to go down with you

      G#                   A#

we’ll make such a horrible mess
