Turbulence Ramblings

[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
   B7                              E
I tried not to worry, I wrote this song
