[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?
