The Pilot

C
That Summer alone we spent fifty-odd afternoons
        F               G                  C
Playing war with wooden sticks and making fires
C
So when I moved away I can't complain I might have screamed
            F             G                C
But it felt real and even at that age, I'd quiet

[Chorus]

    G
But even then I felt
                  C          F     C
The feeling in my belt, yes I have grown
   Am            C
But I guess it is true,
    F            C
To say you never knew
        F          G                 C
I wasn't even ever half in love with you

[Verse]

     C
Well I married this wife that I wake up and she is fine
            F                 G              C
and we can scream and we can yell and we can hide it
     C
It's like I'm flying a plane that never really had a plan
           F                G             C
It's just nice to have somebody help you fly it

[Chorus]

    Am              C
And I guess that it's true to say you
 G              C                F         G               C
Never actually knew that I wasn't even ever half as good as you

[Verse]

 C
So I was on my porch (a fire so?) this afternoon
          F             G            C
When the Lord told me I need to be inspired
 C
So I talked to my friend Benjamin he sounded just grand
        F                G                  C
A level head, he says he might have found a pilot
   C
So wherever that is saying I know maybe it's just nonsense
        F               G                  C
But I believe that I am here and here I'm staying
   C
So wherever that is saying I know maybe it's common sense
         F              G                  C
But I believe that I am here and here I'm staying
