the Em's in the chorus are hard to pick up, but they're there.

VERSE
e            C   g           B
I was flying into Chicago at night
             f            Cr        F#        B
Watching the lake turn the sky into blue-green smoke
The sun was setting to the left of the plane
And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow
In 27-D, I was behind the wing
                              ...F#           A
Watching landscape roll out like credits on a screen

   e   C   g    B   f    Cr   F#  A

VERSE
The earth looked like it was lit from within
Like a poorly assembled electrical ball
As we moved out of the farmlands into the grid
The plan of a city was all that you saw
And all of these people sitting totally still
                               ...F#                   A   Am Am+ Am
As the ground raced beneath them, thirty-thousand feet down

   Am  Am+

CHORUS
Em        Ar   e Em Am Am+ Am
It took an hour,
Em       Ar  e Em Am Am+ Am
Maybe a day
Em       Ar   e      Em        Am   Am+ Am
But once I really listened the noise
Em        Ar
Just fell away

   Em  Ar

VERSE
And I was pretending that I was in a Galaxie 500 video
The stewardess came back and che#ked on my drink
In the last strings of sunlight, a Brigitte Bardot
As I had on my headphones
Along with those eyes that you get
When your circumstance is movie-size

CHORUS
It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened the noise just fell away

It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened the noise just fell away
But once I really listened the noise just fell away
