20 Minutes Before Take Off
 by Dan Henry

[INTRO]
F Am Dm Bb

[VERSE]
F
Twenty minutes before take off
Dm
Sitting here at the airport lounge
Bb
Reminiscing all the good times
       C             A7
You’re going and I’m staying
Dm           Faug              
What was a tremendously 
      Dm7
happy love affair
   Dm6                Bb
Is about to end in tragedy
       C
It’s a pity
 
[VERSE]
F
Huge amounts of persuasion
Dm
Only worsens the situation
Bb                        C
Leaving was a realization of a dream
       A7           Dm
You’ve wanted to pursue
                  Ddim
It was the end of you
                Bb  C
What else can I do?
       F
I love you

[CHORUS]
Bb
Twenty minutes before take off
F
Just don’t make sense
  Bb                      C      
A dream which took us a lifetime 
   F
to build
A7             Dm               
Comes apart in just a matter 
   Bb
of minutes

   (Spoken during interlude)
   "This is gonna hurt me more 
   Than it’s gonna hurt you
   We’ve been together for so long

   I’m gonna miss you."

of Philippine Airlines,
