[Verse 1]
F
A telepathic line to a shadow
F Bb
On the wall, just a passenger and that is all
D
Taking off on a midnight flight
C
The airline ticket in his hand held tight
F
Polar route, destination: oblivion
F Bb
"Can I take that little box that you're sitting on, sir?"
D
"No, that's alright, miss, I'll hold it right here
C
I'll need it later on when I go up in the air"

And one false move will give it all away

F
Long distance calling everyone around
F Bb
Bad connection, better let the operator dial
D
I feel the speed of the traffic zoom
C
A train in a tunnel and an empty room
F
Time for take-off, extinguish all cigarettes
F Bb
In emergency, you know where the exits are
D
His hands are white on the box he grips
C
No one knows but it's their last trip
[Chorus 2]

And one false move will give it all away

Just one false move will give it all away
