And let me stand next to you, when the school bell rings out and after...

I could find a game for us to play

We could make a paper plane and fly it all around

Imagination’s going wild, the things that we could make

Em C G D

But let’s start with the paper plane

[Verse]

I’ve never felt this way before

Em C G D

Known you for years, but I can’t ignore it

Em C G

Would you walk by foot with me, to the string-at-the-tree swing

D Em C G D

And while we’re there, I could roll out a picnic rug for two

[Chorus]

Em C G D

We could make a paper plane and fly it all around

But let’s start with the paper plane

[Bridge]

The time I’ve spent with you is sweet

How things've changed as life moved by

Ninety-two days, if you were still alive

Some day I’ll join you in paradise...

We could make one more paper plane and fly it all around

Em C G D

It doesn’t matter what it looks like, as long as it can leave the ground

Em C G D

When I see your face again
