Tom: B
E B
Finally not waking up dreaming of your ghost
B
And music is for everyone
G#m
Why was I always the last to know?
E B
No idea how hard it was to get this close
B
With all this extra baggage
G#m
And a graft that will not accept the host
[Verse 2]
E B
These tattered coat-tails, these torn tennis shoes
B
I am not smarter than many
G#m
But I do think that I'm smarter than you
E B
Dappled sunlight that the warm air reciprocates
B
You look up long enough to notice
G#m
But not long enough to appreciate that
[Chorus 1]
E G#m
Down here in the flight path
E G#m F#
Down here in the flight path we do our best
E G#m F#
Down here in the flight path we do our best
To keep our heads up
[Verse 3]
E B
I'll sing loud at water falling on stones
B
I want well-timed time with friends
G#m
And well-timed time that I'll spend alone
E B
Throw my body into insignificant positions
B
I'm gonna make more starts
G#m
Complete more chances and more finishes
[Verse 4]
E B
Fly through the world like a whirling dervish in a hurricane
B G#m
Take off my clothes and run screaming in the pouring rain
E B
Kiss people even when I'm pretty sure its a mistake
B G#m
And try to find a love that not for a second I'll have to fake
[Chorus 1]
E G#m
Down here in the flight path
E G#m F#
Down here in the flight path we do our best
E G#m F#
Down here in the flight path we do our best
To keep our heads up
[Chorus 2]
B E
And the sun, will rise
F# E
In the same place every day
B
It would be arrogant to think
E
That we could change anything
F#
Except maybe block it's rays
E
But who would wanna do that anyway?
[Chorus 2]
B E
And I, will rise
F# E
In a different place almost every day
B
It would be arrogant to think
E
That we could change anything
F#
But if you're here to block my rays
E
You're gonna have to get the fuck outta my way
[Chorus 2]
B E
Cause I will shine, on you
F# E
Like it was the only thing I ever wanted to do
B E
I will shine on you
F#
Like it was the only thing that ever mattered
E
And all I was put on this earth to do
B E F# E
I will shine on you
[Bridge]
B
One day its gonna spit me out
E
But its gonna stick my landing
G#m F#
You okay with being talked about?
E G#m
Its hard to not feel love right now
F#
Lets wrap our arms around each other
Shake our imperfect bodies around
[Chorus]
E G#m
Down here in the flight path
E G#m F#
Down here in the flight path we do our best
E G#m F#
Down here in the flight path we do our best
To keep our heads up
