[Bb]
[F] [Bb] I don't wanna hear a love song
got on [Eb] this airplane just [Bb] to fly
[F] I know there's [Dm] life [Eb] below [F] me
But all that you can show me
[Bb] the prairie and the sky
And [F] [Bb]
I don't wanna hear a sad story

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] I don't wanna hear a love song
I [Gm] _
_ _ got on [Eb] this airplane just [Bb] to fly
_ _ And _ [F] I know there's [Dm] life [Eb] below [F] me
But all that you can show me
Is [Bb] the prairie and the sky _ _
_ And _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
I don't wanna hear a sad story
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ Full of [Eb] _ heartache _ [Bb] and desire
_ The [F] last time I felt like this
I was in the wilderness
_ _ [Bb] And the canyon was on fire
I laughed _ _ _ [Gm]
and I stood on the mountain
[C] _ _
_ _ [Gm] [Eb] In _ _ the night I [Bb] watched it burn _
I _ [F] watched it [Bb] burn _
I _ watched it burn _
I would wrap [Eb] my soul _ _
In the [Bb] bosom of Abraham _ _
I would hold [F] my _ life _
In his [Bb] saving _ grace _
I would walk [Eb] away _ _ _
From [Bb] Boulder to Birmingham _ _
If I thought [F] I could see _ _
I could [Bb] see your _ face
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] Will you really _ [Bb] guide me this time? _
_ _ [Gm] And the hardest part [Eb] is not _ _ [Bb] _ _ surviving _
_ I've [F] come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down _ [Bb] _ the fire
_ _ _ And _ _ _
[Gm] pretend that it's [C] the ocean _ _
_ Coming [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
down _ [Bb] to clean _
To [E] wash [F] me _ clean
Baby, do you know [Bb] what I _ mean?
_ I would wrap [Eb] my _ soul
_ In the [Bb] bosom of Abraham _
_ I would [F] hold my life
In his [Bb] saving _ grace
_ I would walk [Eb] away _ _
_ _ From [Bb] Boulder to Birmingham
_ If I thought I [F] could see _
_ I could [Bb] see your _ face
If I thought I [F] could see _
_ I could see [Bb] your face
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
