Intro (picked first time through, then strummed): Cadd9 Cadd9/B A7sus4 G 2x Cadd9 I handed him a paper Cadd9/B Thick white lines of vapour A7sus4 G Will get that message through Cadd9 He climbs into his airplane Cadd9/B Speeds off from the start lane A7sus4 G The praise is overdue Em7 Above this town from side to side Cadd9 The letters spreads out open wide G G/F# Hope she sees the writer in the sky Em7 But maybe it's a mindless plea Cadd9 My place on her scale is make believe G G/F# I guess I've always been a bit naïve [Play intro through x1) The pilot makes a last spin Heads off, disappearing Into the blue and gray The job for now is over Feeling fairly sober Although it's Saturday The loneliness is such a weight So sick of love he's paid to state Humming Time Has Told Me by Nick Drake Feels much too ashamed to say Like vapour trails his heart turns gray So afraid he too might fade away
