Eb Eb      Gm Gm
I just stepped on a plane, my bags on the shelf
Cm Cm Ab Ab
I find my seat in the middle and plan to keep to myself
Eb Eb Gm Gm
The pilot comes on, says "there's been a delay"
Cm Cm Ab Ab
And I sigh, buckle up, and prepare for the wait

Eb Eb Gm Gm
There's a middle-aged woman on my right by the window
Cm Cm Ab Ab
No ring on her finger maybe divorced or a widow?
Eb Eb Gm Gm
She's drafting an email and from where I am seated
Cm CmAb Ab
I can side-eye that shit, so of course I'm gon' read it

It said:
Eb Eb Gm Gm
Dear McCracken…
Cm Cm Ab Ab
This is already great dude's got a pen pal and a killer last name
Eb Eb Gm Gm
She opens with an inside joke and she's hopin'
Cm CmAb Ab
to set a casual tone, her words carefully chosen
Eb Eb Gm Gm
She was sure that her week spent in Houston would drag,
Cm Cm Ab Ab
but then a face from her past quickly changed all of that
Eb Eb Gm Gm
The trip was for business, she's used to the travel,
Cm Cm Ab Ab
but this time she's not ready to head back to Seattle

Eb Eb Bb Bb Cm Cm
Dear McCracken, I'd rather be off this plane
Ab AbEb Eb
I can't admit the half of it that I want to say
Bb Bb
Do I pretend? Do I push you away?
Cm Cm Ab Ab
I'm jet laggin' McCracken and I'll give you, I'll give you your space

Eb EbGm GmCm CmAb Ab

Eb Eb Gm Gm
I can tell by the abuse of the backspace key
Cm Cm Ab Ab
there's a heart balanced on how her words are perceived
Eb Eb Gm Gm
She's retyped that fourth paragraph four times
Cm Cm Ab Ab
Swinging the tone back and forth until she's so satisfied
Eb Eb Gm Gm
That he knows that even though their paths have diverged
Cm Cm Ab Ab
There's an air of regret but not enough to reverse

Eb Eb Gm Gm
And I am stunned, there I sit, completely convinced
Cm CmAb Ab
That once you grow old you stop dealin' with this
Eb EbGm Gm
The uncertain, the hurtin', the feelin like dirt
Cm Cm Ab Ab
When things don't work out by the fall of the curtain
Eb Eb Gm Gm
She hits send, powers off, and we're ready to go
Cm Cm Ab Ab
And I am sad for the passion that McCracken, he might never know

Eb Eb Bb Bb Cm Cm
Dear McCracken, I'd rather be off this plane
Ab Ab Eb Eb
I can't admit the half of it that I want to say
Bb Bb
Do I pretend? Do I push you away?
Cm Cm Ab Ab
I'm jet laggin' McCracken and I’ll give you, I'll give you your...

Eb Eb Bb Bb Cm Cm
Dear McCracken, I'm keepin' this on my chest
Ab Ab Eb Eb
I said a lot of things but none of them what I meant
Bb Bb
Do I pretend? Do I try to forget?
Cm CmAb Ab
I'm jet laggin' McCracken and I wish you, I wish you the best

Eb EbBb BbCm CmAb Ab

Eb Eb Bb BbCm Cm
And I thought, I thought by that age
Ab Ab
Our broken hearts had seen their worst
Eb Eb Bb Bb Cm Cm
And I thought that kind of heartache was meant
Ab Ab
For the young but we're never too old to hurt

Eb Eb Bb BbCm Cm
And I thought, I thought by that age
Ab Ab
Our broken hearts had seen their worst
Eb Eb Bb Bb Cm Cm
And I thought that kind of heartache was meant
Ab Ab
For the young but we're never too old to hurt

[Instrumental]
Eb EbGm GmCm CmAb Ab

Eb Eb Gm Gm
I just stepped off a plane, I've got one regret
Cm Cm Ab Ab
I know I'll never get closure or ever see how it ends
Eb Eb Gm Gm
No I won't know his answer, what happens between them
Cm Cm Ab Ab
And why she kept her cards so close even she couldn't see them
Eb Eb Gm Gm
What gave her such pause? When she so clearly wanted
Cm Cm Ab Ab
To tell you all the emotions she tried so hard to bottle
Eb Eb G7 G7
And I'll never know why she kept the honest truth from you
Cm Cm
But oh Dear McCracken
Bb Bb
In the rough draft
Ab Ab
Oh in the rough draft
Eb Eb
In the rough draft she loved you
