From A Window Seat Cifras

[Intro]
Em C Am Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em
I buckle in my seatbelt and plug my headset in a chair
            C
And to the music, I watch flight attendants move
           Am
They are pointing out the exits, but it looks more like a prayer
       Em
Or an ancient dance their bloodline reaches through
 
        Em
These planes are good for sifting through
 
The warriors from the men
       C
I get time to sit and watch them for a while
            Am
You can see everywhere they're going
 
And everywhere they've been
              Em
In how they look out at the clouds each time they smile
 
 
[Chorus 1]
              Em                                  C
And I think 'maybe he's in town for someone's birthday
    Em                           C
Or maybe he makes trouble everywhere
                   Em
But as much he resists the conversation
              C
Between the rivers and the freeways
Am             D        Em
He knows it's always there'
 
 
[Verse 2]
         Em
As the Northwest Passage sits somewhere below me as I sleep
             C
I dream of captains and explorers eating boots
        Am
When I ask if I can join them, and they offer one to me
    Em
I wake up as my home comes into view
 
      Em
So I reached out down for my notebook to see what impressions could be spun
                 C
But it's just buildings and a million swimming pools
       Am
So I leaf back through the pages to see where I am from
              Em
Or for some crumbling map of what it's leading to
 
 
[Chorus 2]
                     Em                           C
And I find that the hero in this song that I am writing
          Em                             C
Doesn't know he's just an image of myself
                   Em
But as much he resists the conversation
              C
Between the rivers and the freeways
       Am             D              Em
He's somehow always asking them for help
 
 
[Solo]
Em C A Em
Em C Am Em
 
 
[Bridge]
                Am                             D
I want to make out all the signs I've been ignoring
          G                                 C
How the trees reach for the sky or in the length of someone's hair
Am                                       D
Cause when you don't know where you are going
Em      D                 C
Any road will take you there
 
 
[Chorus 3]
     Em                              C
So maybe I'm in town for someone's birthday
Em                           C
Maybe I make trouble everywhere
                 Em
But as much I resist the conversation
             C
Between the rivers and the freeways
Am           D       Em
I know it's always there
Am           D       Em
I know it's always there
Am           D       Em
I know it's always there
