Some of the other tabs for this song may be correct as well but I found them to

I've got my things, I'm good to go
Em
You met me at the terminal
Am            F                   C               G
Just one more plane ride and it's done
C
We stood like statues at the gate
Em
Vacation's come and gone too late
Am              F
There's so much sun where I'm from
C                   G   
I had to give it away, had to give you away

Perfect

(F)
Hours pass
and she still counts the minutes
       C    
That I am not there             F 
I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this
                         C
Like every inch of me is bruised,
G
Bruised

F
Don't fly fast
Oh, pilot can you help me

So keep it steady, now
'Cause every inch you see is

(verse 2)
C
I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle
Em
I take my pills the babies cry
Am
All I hear
          F 
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio
C
Now every word of every song
Em
I've ever heard that made me 
Am
Want to stay
          F
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio
C
And I...
Em
I Am...
               Am
Finally waking up

F
Hours pass
and she still counts the minutes
       C    
That I am not there             F

Like every inch of me is 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
'Cause every inch you see is

C
So read your books
    Em                         Am
But stay out late some nights, some nights
    C
And don't think that you
Em                Am
Can't stop by the bar
C                      Em
You haven't shown your face here
              Am
Since the bad news
C                         Em
I'm here 'til close, with fingers crossed
     Am                      
Each night 'cause your place isn't far
(let ring)             (let ring)
F                   C                 F
And hours pass, and hours pass, yeah, yeah
