C#m    A                     E
Let's say that you're on a plane
                B
its going down fast and you had time to
C#m               A
think about your life and times
      E              B
and where you'll end up

     F#m
They say there's a
  B           G#m
place you're worried what
   C#m
it might be like and
 F#m                 B
scream cause  you're scared

Chorus:
E            A
What if i swore to
           B
god would you
             E
believe me then? isn't
there something to be
A
said about brand
 B           E
name recognition?

Let's say, your plane didn't crash
And you should survive
Would g-g-go back to your selfish ways
And deny this was divine?

They say there's a place
You worry what it might be like
And scream 'cause you're scared

Chorus:
E          A
What if i swore to
           B
god would you
            E
believe me then? isn't
there something to be
 A
said about brand
 B           E
name recognition?
E           A             B         E
What can i say we ate the apple anyway?
           C#m                 A
And you'll wonder when you'll get
                  B        E
there when you've already been

F#m     A
  Lets say this happens
 C#m A F#m          A
again     but this time
                  C#m A
you're old and in bed
F#m A        F#m    A
Believe whatever's right
B    A         B     C#m
for you don't doubt your
B          B/D# E  C#m A E B
worth stay in   command
           C#m A E B
Stay in command

Chorus

C#m    A        E   B C#m A E B C#m
you've already been
