Airborne

	  		
Intro: Em      G       A 

verse 1 
                        Em 
You said that you would call me 
                     G 
And when you didn’t call me 
   A 
I gave you up for dead 
                       Em 
So I was working on a backbone 
                 G 
And chiseling a tombstone 
          A 
When you called me up and said 
                         Em 
Through a wall of heavy breathing 
                     G 
You thought it was relieving 
       A 
To be out on your own 
                           Em 
How a voice that used to thrill me 
                    G 
Could cut me up and kill me 
        A 
On the fucking telephone 

 
            Em            G          A 
You did not even send me airborne anyway 
            Em            G                  A 
Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say 


verse 2 
                     Em       
It was just another Thursday 
                G 
Like any other Thursday 
   A 
Except that we were through 
                            Em 
We were wading through the concrete 
                         G 
And digging through the scrap heap 
          A 
Deciding what belonged to who 
                          Em 
All the treasure from the good days 
                       G 
Was going through the last phase 
    A 
Of yours and yours and mine 
                         Em 
When something from the yours pile 
                   G 
Shattered on the floor tile 
              A 
And you went off like Frankenstein 

 
            Em            G          A 
You did not even send me airborne anyway 
            Em            G                  A 
Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say 


verse 3 
                            Em 
I think it’s clear that I adore you 
                  G 
I didn’t mean to bore you 
      A 
Or grind it in so deep 
                        Em 
I had to place another call in 
                      G 
I didn’t think you’d fall in 
          A 
With the company you keep 
                          Em 
And you tell me that you love me 
                      G 
But you don’t really love me 
       A 
You remind me every day 
                         Em 
When you’re living in a flood plain 
                   G 
It doesn’t take a hard rain 
    A 
To wash it all away 

 
            Em            G          A 
You did not even send me airborne anyway 
            Em            G                  A 
Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say
