[Verse]
Am     Gsus4/B C         G            F
Lacing up our shoes on a bench in the sun
    Am    Gsus4/B C                G    F
I’m putting on my belt in front of everyone
Am          Gsus4/B     C                 G              Dm
Bright blue screens are shouting from the rafters at the crowds
        Am        Gsus4/B  C                   G               Bbmaj7
“Do you have your boarding pass?” I ask, while thinking of the clouds
        Ebmaj7      G      F
But the news is too loud.
 
[Verse]
   Am     Gsus4/B C                G            F
We let the crazy people steal the conversation pit
        Am     Gsus4/B C         G                 F
There’s money to be made from a nation that’s been split
          Am     Gsus4/B C             G              Dm
But we’re all in this together, facing forward in our chairs
         Am  Gsus4/B C            G             Bbmaj7
Thinking only of mortality while hanging in the air.
       Ebmaj7      G
In the air, in the air.
 
[Chorus]
C         F                        C
Up in the bright blue sky, we were sleeping
F                             C
Shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee
F                                    C
Questioning the schedules we’ve been keeping
C/B        Dm    Dm6
Row twenty three
           Bbmaj7  G
Who can it be?
             F
It’s you and me
 
[Verse]
       Am     Gsus4/B C                    G            F
You’re dozing in the window seat but I can see out if I lean
       Am     Gsus4/B C               G              F
Being careful of your coffee cup, you added too much cream
   Am     Gsus4/B C                 G              Dm
Distorted in the travel we’re going faster than it seems
   Am     Gsus4/B C                   G            Bmaj7
Below us grids of farmland stretch as far as I can see
            Ebmaj7         G
Through the clouds, like a dream.
 
[Chorus]
C         F                        C
Up in the bright blue sky, we were sleeping
F                             C
Shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee
F                                    C
Questioning the schedules we’ve been keeping
C/B        Dm    Dm6
Row twenty three
           Bbmaj7  G
Who can it be?
             F
It’s you and me
 
 
[Bridge]
C   C/B   Am   C/G   F
Oooooo
C   C/B   Am   C/G   F
Oooooo
 
 
[Verse]
  Am     Gsus4/B C              G            F
Returning to the planet all the lines become streets
  Am     Gsus4/B  C                     G           F
A country full of traffic jams that but no one ever meets
    Am     Gsus4/B  C                   G              Dm
And we are just the same although we’re in a different place
  Am        Gsus4/B   C                   G                Bmaj7
Believing that we’re grounded while we’re spinning into in space.
Ebmaj7 Bmaj7 G
Space, Space
 
 
[Outro]
Bbmaj7   Ebmaj7   Bbmaj7   Ebmaj7   G
