[Verse 1]
BmI forgot what Dmonth it is againG  
I'm half Bmawake
I know it's Dwrong but I swear to GGod it's almost Christmas
BmIn a language DI don't understandG  
There's a shaking Bmvoice on the PDA
The other Gpassengers seem nervous
[Chorus 1]
N.C.
I'm playing
EmWhat song do Gyou want to Ddie to?
EmWhat song do Gyou...
[Verse 2]
BmI'm suddenDly aware of our Gspeed
Sew the Bmworld together Dtightly
Cinch the Ggaps with pins and string
BmAnd the beacon Dout there on the wingG  
It lights the Bmclouds from inside Dout
And from the Gground we look like lightning
[Chorus 2]
N.C.
I'm playing
EmWhat song do Gyou want to Ddie to?
EmWhat song do Gyou...
 Bm-  D- G  
[Verse 3]
BmI'm everyDwhere at once Gagain
I hear the Bmocean in the Dengine
I feel the Gmoonlight creeping in
BmMaybe Dit's all in my headG  
An unknown foreign Bmpresence in your Dbloodstream
I'm a Gstranger in my bed
[Chorus 3]
N.C.
I'm playing
EmWhat song do Gyou want to Ddie to ?
EmWhat song do Gyou want to Ddie to?
EmWhat song do Gyou want to Ddie to?A  
EmWhat song do Gyou?
 Bm-  D-  G(With Flanger)
[Bridge]
BmI'm flashing back to us one night Din a Gprairie town
G(Tornado alley, outrunning a storm)
BmThey can see the dirt there Dunder my Gfingernails
G(I'm just a pile of bones left on an airport floor)
BmThe bags under my eyes have got Dspace when you Gbottom out
G(To pack your things and make a break for the door)
BmOne day the things you love are gonna Dput you Gin the ground
G(But I'm planning on running 'til I can't anymore)
[Outro]
EmWhat song do Gyou, want to Ddie to?
EmWhat song do Gyou, want to Ddie to?
EmWhat song do Gyou, want to Ddie to?A  
EmWhat song do Gyou?
EmWhat song do Gyou?
EmWhat song do Gyou?
