[Verse 1]
Bm D G
I forgot what month it is again
Bm
I'm half awake
D G
I know it's wrong but I swear to God it's almost Christmas
Bm D G
In a language I don't understand
Bm D
There's a shaking voice on the PA
G
The other passengers seem nervous

[Chorus 1]
N.C.
I'm playing
Em G D
What song do you want to die to?
Em G
What song do you...

[Verse 2]
Bm D G
I'm suddenly aware of our speed
Bm D
Sew the world together tightly
G
Cinch the gaps with pins and string
Bm D G
And the beacon out there on the wing
Bm D
It lights the clouds from inside out
G
And from the ground we look like lightning

[Chorus 2]
N.C.
I'm playing
Em G D
What song do you want to die to?
Em G
What song do you...
Bm - D - G

[Verse 3]
Bm D G
I'm everywhere at once again
Bm D
I hear the ocean in the engine
G
I feel the moonlight creeping in
Bm D G
Maybe it's all in my head
Bm D
An unknown foreign presence in your bloodstream
G
I'm a stranger in my bed

[Chorus 3]
N.C.
I'm playing
Em G D
What song do you want to die to ?
Em G D
What song do you want to die to?
Em G D A
What song do you want to die to?
Em G
What song do you?
Bm - D - G (With Flanger)

[Bridge]
Bm D G
I'm flashing back to us one night in a prairie town
G
(Tornado alley, outrunning a storm)
Bm D G
They can see the dirt there under my fingernails
G
(I'm just a pile of bones left on an airport floor)
Bm D G
The bags under my eyes have got space when you bottom out
G
(To pack your things and make a break for the door)
Bm D G
One day the things you love are gonna put you in the ground
G
(But I'm planning on running 'til I can't anymore)

[Outro]
Em G D
What song do you, want to die to?
Em G D
What song do you, want to die to?
Em G D A
What song do you, want to die to?
Em G
What song do you?
Em G
What song do you?
Em G
What song do you?
