Em       D/F#  G
When the time comes 
Am                 G   D
That you're no longer there 
Em           D/F#  G
Fall down to my knees 
Am        G    D
Begin my nightmare 
      Em                 D/F# G
Words spill from my drunken mouth
   Am                 G   D 
I just can't keep'em all in 
      Em              D/F# G
I keep up with the racing rats
    Am           D   Em
And do my best to win

[Instrumental]
Em D/F# G   Am G D  x2

[Verse 2]

Em       D/F#    G
Slow down little one 
Am                    G   D
You can't keep running away 
    Em           D/F#   G
You mustn't go outside yet 
     Am            G    D
It's not your time to play 
Em              D/F#         G
Standing at the edge of your town
          Am         G    D
With the skyline in your eyes
Em        D/F#  G
Reaching up to god
    Am             D     Em    Bm
The sun says its goodbyes

[Chorus]
      C             G             Em    Bm
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C             G
How big a hole would it leave 
       D                   
In the surface of the earth

[Instrumental]
Em D/F# G   Am G D  x2 

[Verse 3]
Em              D/F#  G
Let's pretend we never met 
Am                    G    D
Let's pretend we're on our own
Em              D/F#  G 
We'll live different lives 
Am        G       D
Until our covers blown 
          Em        D/F#  G
I push my hand up to the sky 
          Am         G  D
Shade my eyes from the sun 
       Em             D/F#  G
As the dust settles around me 
         Am             D Em    Bm
Suddenly nightime has begun 

[Chorus]
     C             G             Em    Bm
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C             G
How big a hole would it leave 
       D
In the surface of the earth 
       D
The surface of the earth 

[Verse 4]
Em     C
Come on now 
    G             D
You knew you were lost
        Em     C     G D
But you carried on anyway
   Em     C
Oh come on now
    G               D
You knew you had no time 
        Em     C        G   D    Em
But you let the day drift away 

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 2]
     C             G             Em   Bm 
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C             G     Em   Bm
How big a hole would it leave 
     C             G             Em   Bm
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C             G
How big a hole would it make 
       D
In the surface of the earth  The surface of the earth
                       Em
The surface of the earth
