         D    G      D          Em
it's a black fly in your chardonnay
          D       G          D   
it's a death row pardon two 
       Em
minutes to late

it's a free ride when you've 
    Em
already paid
                D   G         D  
it's the good advice that you

his kids good-bye
              D           G       
he waited his whole damn life just
     D         Em
 to take that flight
           D              G    
and as the plane crashed down he

thouht "well isn't this nice..."
               D    G

dreams then meeting his beautiful 
   Em
wife
              D   G
