[Intro]

F Bb D C F Bb D

[Verse 1]

A telepathic line to a shadow

F Bb

On the wall, just a passenger and that is all

Taking off on a midnight flight

The airline ticket in his hand held tight

Polar route, destination: oblivion

F Bb

"Can I take that little box that you're sitting on, sir?"

"No, that's alright, miss, I'll hold it right here

I'll need it later on when I go up in the air"

[Chorus 1]

D C

And one false move will give it all away

Just one false move will give it all away

[Solo 1]

F Bb D C F C F C Bb D

[Verse 2]

Long distance calling everyone around

F Bb

Bad connection, better let the operator dial

I feel the speed of the traffic zoom

A train in a tunnel and an empty room

Time for take-off, extinguish all cigarettes

F Bb

In emergency, you know where the exits are

His hands are white on the box he grips

No one knows but it's their last trip

[Chorus 2]

D C

And one false move will give it all away

Just one false move will give it all away

[Solo 2]

F Bb D C F Bb D C F Bb D C F Bb D C

Taking off on a midnight flight

The airline ticket in his hand held tight

And one false move will give it all away

Just one false move will give it all away
