i saw that there is no chords-only version of this song on UG, so here it is - just the 
chords with no bass line (which is pretty easy to figure out too)
for the acoustic version of this song, drop the tuning by a half step.
It was a  Bmplane ride from LAX to  EO'Hare,
and what happened next was a  Bmseries of unfortunate events.
 E(Please stay tuned for what happened next...)
The  Bmlife I breathe for you gives to me  Enew wounds G  
Ones to  Apatch and dress as  BmI reflect on  Ewhat else I could give you.
Maybe I should  Bmblindly throw my  Afaith
into the  Enext thing that comes my  Gway
Standing at the Bmback door with the  Alife that she left  Ebehind. E  
Are we all the  Bmsame behind the  Aframe
Beneath the  Eglass and fake last  Gnames?
I've been waiting  Efar too long to  F#mfeel the sun on my  GbaAck.
It was a  Bmbig bang
and a bright white light from  Enowhere.
It turned my  Bmcoach class window to
A first class seat on the  Eevening news, on NBC.
The  Bmlife I gave for you is yours
So  Ekeep it, you oughtta  Gkeep it.
If I had  Aone last chance to  Bmtake it all back
You  Eknow I'd take take take you.
Maybe I should  Bmblindly throw my  Afaith
into the  Enext thing that comes my  Gway
Standing at the Bmback door with the  Alife that she left  Ebehind. E  
Are we all the  Bmsame behind the  Aframe
Beneath the  Eglass and fake last  Gnames?
I've been waiting  Efar too long to  F#mfeel the sun on my  GbaAck.
"ADpologies are all we'll ever be,"  Ashe said.
Standing on the  Bmstairs
Looking back, looking  Ghard at me.
"Well,  Dlife is long for those who have to wait,"  AI said.
The choice I had to  Bmmake.
The choice I had to  Gmake.
The choice I had to...
It was a  Bmplane ride. (plane ride)
It was a  Eplane ride. (plane ride)
It was a  Bmplane ride.
Just A  Eplane... G  
Maybe I should  Bmblindly throw my  Afaith
into the  Enext thing that comes my  Gway
Standing at the Bmback door with the  Alife that she left  Ebehind. E  
If we know the  Bmway we're gonna  Adie
Through everything  Eelse we will surGvive
I've been waiting  Efar too long to  F#mfeel the sun on my  GbaAck.
But Cone day,
I will stay.

I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back.

It was a big bang

Through everything else we will survive
