Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I've  got my things, I'm good to go
You  met me at the terminal
Just  one more plane  ride and it's done.
We  stood like statues at the gate
Vacation's  come and gone too late
There's  so much sun  where I'm from
I  had to give it away,  had to give you away.
And  we spent four days on an  island
 At your family's old hotel.
 Sometimes perfection  can be,
It  can be perfect Hell,
Perfect.
Hours  pass, and she still counts the minutes
 That I am  not there
 I swear I didn't mean for it to feel  like this
 Like every inch of me is bruised,  bruised.
Don't  fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me
 Can you make  this last? This plane is all I got
 So keep it steady  now, cos every inch you see is
Bruised
I  lace my Chucks I walk the aisle,
I  take my pills, the babies cry.
All  I hear
 Is what's playing  through the  in-flight  radio
Now  every word of every song
I've  ever heard that made me want  to stay
 Is what's playing  through the in-flight radio
And  I, I  am finally waking  up.
Hours  pass, and she still counts the minutes
 That I am  not there
 I swear I didn't mean for it to feel  like this
 Like every inch of me is bruised,  bruised.
Don't  fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me
 Can you make  this last? This plane is all I got
 So keep it steady  now, cos every inch you see is
Bruised
So  read your books but  stay out late
Some  nights, some nights.
 And don't  think that you  can't stop by the  bar.
 You haven't  shown your  face here since the bad  news.
 I'm here  til close, with  fingers crossed,
 Each night  cos your place  isn't far.
 And hours  pass, and  hours  pass.
Yeah,  Yeah
Hours  pass, and she still counts the minutes
 That I am  not there
 I swear I didn't mean for it to feel  like this
 Like every inch of me is bruised,  bruised.
Don't  fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me
 Can you make  this last? This plane is all I got
 So keep it steady  now, cos every inch you see is
Bruised
