DF#m
I hope you never change. I hope you never go.
DF#m
I hope you'll always keep our little secret, though.
GD
But how'd we get here? -At this height?
F#mG
And what's this talk of dead weight?
DF#m
I know we always drink, but we don't always fight.
DF#m
The landing lights are on, but we're just out of sight
GD
'cos this thing's mobile; There's still wheels.
F#mG
And I'm not done yet, so hang on.
DF#m
You came along to change the grade; To raise the bar I'd made of late.
DF#m
You came along to raise the stakes; To tend to me and my mistakes.
GD
I can't pretend that I could be the man you said you saw in me,
F#mG
But hang around and I'll try and land this thing.
DB
No-one came; No-one saw.
DB
No-one came; No-one saw.
AG/B
Someone pass the manual.
DF#m
And soon I'll go away. I'll see you at the door.
DF#m
So go put David on; Read about the war.
GD
We're just blind pilots in strange planes.
F#mG
Back seat drivers in dead cars.
(You came along...)
DF#m
Yeah, I made a list of all the things that I could change: How I could win.
DF#m
I can't and I refuse to say the wheels have slowly come away.
GD
I pray to God my soul to keep 'cos I could never stand the heat.
F#mG
But hang around and I'll try and land this thing.
(No-one came...)
