song: at the bottom of everything
album: I'm wide awake it's morning
artist: bright eyes
[Spoken]
So there was this woman,
and she was on an airplane,
and she was flying to meet her fiancé
sailing high above the largest ocean on planet earth,
and she was seated next to this man who... you know,
she had tried to start conversations, but, only,
really the only thing she had heard him say was just to order his Bloody Mary,
and she was sitting there
and she was reading this really arduous magazine article
about a third world country that she couldn't even pronounce the, the name of,
and she was feeling very bored... and very despondent
and then... and then uh, suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure
and one of the, the engines gave out,
and they started just falling thirty-thousand feet.
The pilot's on the microphone and he's,
he's saying, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh my god… I'm sorry” and apologizing,
and, and she looks at the man and she, and she says,
she says, 
(Begin muted strumming 16th notes)
she says, “Where are we going?”.
And uh, and he looks at her and he says,
“We're going to a party.
It, it's a birthday party.
It's your birthday party,
Happy birthday, darling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much.”
And then um, he starts humming this little tune, and,
and uh it kinda goes like this,
it's kinda: 1, 2, 1-2-3-4

At The Bottom Of Everything

Lyrics & chords · Original key

song: at the bottom of everything

album: I'm wide awake it's morning

artist: bright eyes

[Spoken]

So there was this woman,

and she was on an airplane,

and she was flying to meet her fiancé

sailing high above the largest ocean on planet earth,

and she was seated next to this man who... you know,

she had tried to start conversations, but, only,

really the only thing she had heard him say was just to order his Bloody Mary,

and she was sitting there

and she was reading this really arduous magazine article

about a third world country that she couldn't even pronounce the, the name of,

and she was feeling very bored... and very despondent

and then... and then uh, suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure

and one of the, the engines gave out,

and they started just falling thirty-thousand feet.

The pilot's on the microphone and he's,

he's saying, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh my god… I'm sorry” and apologizing,

and, and she looks at the man and she, and she says,

she says,

(Begin muted strumming 16th notes)

she says, “Where are we going?”.

And uh, and he looks at her and he says,

“We're going to a party.

It, it's a birthday party.

It's your birthday party,

Happy birthday, darling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much.”

And then um, he starts humming this little tune, and,

and uh it kinda goes like this,

it's kinda: 1, 2, 1-2-3-4
