(guitar riff #1 x2)
C#F#
just before the afternoon creeps in
C#F#
just before it gets too hot to be outside
BB/A#G#m
I like to lay on my back in the grass and
BB/A#G#mG#
watch the airplanes go by and I dream
BmF#BC#
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

(guitar riff #1 x2)
C#F#
just before the eyeball appears
C#F#
just before the little birds go to sleep
BB/A#G#m
I like to stand on my head and pretend
BB/A#G#mG#BmF#
that I am a control tower and that you are an airplane
BC#
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
AmGF
the way you live your life makes me nervous
F
if you were to die

FAA#Am
I’d have no reason to be alive
AmGm
'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
