D                                               G
A woman on a plane sitting next to me says it's a terrible thing to get old
  D                                           A
I asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold
         D                                          G
I said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I've been dying since the day I was born
    D
But there's still one thing worse than that
     G               A
it's dying without a warning 
     G                   A
It's dying without being warned
 
Chorus:
          Bm                       A        G
So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky
D                                  A                   (A)  A#
We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives
          Bm                   A        G
But if we don't die today then may this memory remain
     D                                A                     G
That every second lived is worth each second of the pain

Verse 2:
D                                                     G
Oh flight attendent could you tell me the story of how you gave up trying to 
                                       
control your fate and rescue yourself
D                                                         
  So calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile
G                                                            A    G
  If today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile, and just
A    G   A 
smile?

Chorus:
          Bm                       A        G
So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky
D                                  A                   (A)  A#
We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives
          Bm                   A        G
But if we don't die today then may this memory remain
     D                                A                     G
That every second lived is worth each second of the pain

Bridge:
D
  I never dreamed this life for me but I am not afraid
G
  At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate
D
  If my work here's complete, before we hit the ground
       G
May we sing the truth that sets us free

'Cause every second counts
