[Verse]
E
I wrote this song at three in the morning
Abm
I apologise, I’m tired, so while I’m in mourning
B
Of the loss of what could have been a masterpiece
D
I suppose you’re stuck with this rambling release
E
And I wrote this song thirty thousand feet in the air
Abm B
There’s just night below me, I don’t know where
D
We are but the air pockets shake the plane
D
It was a semi- relaxing journey, such a shame
[Chorus]
Gbm
A majority of us are shaken by the disturbance
B7
Shaking us with the shakin’ of the turbulence
Gbm
So I thought I’d ramble on
B7 E
While I try not to worry, I’ll write this song
[Verse]
E
I wrote this song at three in the morning
Abm
Creative, blurry-eyed and yawning
B
After all, that’s when all the ideas come
D
Coz it is the time for the surge of lyrical fun
E
And I wrote this song on this vibrating vessel
Abm
Desperately trying to wrestle the air pressure level
B
Stumbling about through the aisles
D
I’ve been doing this for a little while
[Bridge]
C
And a woman sitting in B10
D
Drops her black ballpoint pen
C
It rolls along the floors, under the seats
D
And it stops right at my feet
E D
But as I bend down to retrieve this ship of writing
E D
The plane shakes again and sends it flying
A Gbm
The time I had now gone from my hands
A Gbm
Slipped through my fingers like hot sands
D E
These moments depleted, baby I’m flyin’ away
D E
Can’t turn the plane around, can’t revisit those days
D C
I’m so far above the cities below
D C
Memories laid out around me for show
[Verse]
E
And I wrote this song thirty thousand feet in the air
Abm
But no-one else around me seems to care
B D
That this is a one way trip, once it’s done, it’s done
D
I suppose that’s part of the joy, part of the fun
E
And I wrote this song at three in the morning
Abm
Jolted awake by the shake with no warning
B
By the violent shift in airflow on the sky
D
This time should be mine in my mind
[Chorus]
Gbm
A majority of us are shaken by the disturbance
B7
Shaking us with the shakin’ of the turbulence
Gbm
So I thought I’d ramble on
