VERSE 1
Eb                                                 Ab
A woman on a plane sitting next to me says it's a terrible thing to get old
  Eb                                               Bb
I asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold
         Eb                                          Ab
I said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I've been dying since the day I was born
    Eb
But there's still one thing worse than that
     Ab               Bb
it's dying without a warning
     Ab                          Bb
It's dying without being warned

CHORUS
          C5                      Bb        Ab
So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky
Eb                                  Bb                    (B5)
We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives
       C5                     Bb        Ab
But if we don't die today then may this memory remain
     Eb                                Bb                  Ab
That every second lived is worth each second of the pain

If today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile,
         Bb      Ab   Bb
and just smile?

CHORUS
 
BRIDGE

I never dreamed this life for me, but I am not afraid

At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate

If my work here's complete before we hit the ground

May we sing the truth that sets us free, 'cause every second counts (Repeat)
