Every Second

D#                                                G#
A woman on a plane sitting next to me says it's a terrible thing to get old
   D#                                             A#
I asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold
         D#                                         G#
I said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I've been dying since the day I was born
     D#
But theres still one thing worse than that
     G#              A#
it's dying without a warning
     G#             A#
It's dying without being warned
C#                                   A#     G#
So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky
D#                                  A#                   B
We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives
C#                            A#        G#
But if we don't die today then may this memory remain
D#                         A#                             G#
That every second lived is worth each second of the pain
D#            F               G             B         D#           F               G               C
Oh flight attendent could you tell me the story of how you gave up trying to control your fate and rescue yourself
D#                  F        G               B
So calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile
D#             F                G             C            A#    G#        A#     G#    A#
If today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile, and just smile?
D#          G#
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C#
I never dreamed this life for me but I am not afraid
G#
At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate
D#
If my work here's complete, before we hit the ground
A#
May we sing the truth that sets us free
'Cause every second counts
