Dear Mccracken Chords & Lyrics - Bug Hunter

[C]I just stepped on a plane, my [Em]bags on the shelf
I find my s[Am]eat in the middle and plan to [F]keep to myself
The [C]pilot comes on, says "there's [Em]been a delay"
And I [Am]sigh, buckle up, and pre[F]pare for the wait

There's a [C]middle-aged woman on my[Em] right by the window
No [Am]ring on her finger maybe [F]divorced or a widow?
She's [C]drafting an email and from w[Em]here I am seated
I can [Am]side-eye that shit, so of c[F]ourse I'm gon' read it

It said:
[C]Dear McCracken [Em]
This is already [Am]great dude's got a pen pal and a [F]killer last name
She [C]opens with an inside j[Em]oke and she's hopin' to set a c[Am]asual tone, her words ca[F]refully chosen
She was [C]sure that her week spent in [Em]Houston would drag
But then a [Am]face from her past quickly [F]changed all of that
The [C]trip was for business, she's[Em] used to the travel
But this [Am]time she's not ready to head[F] back to Seattle

[CHORUS]
[C]Dear McCracken, I'd [G]rather be off this p[Am]lane
I can't admit the half of [F]it that I want to s[C]ay
Do I pretend? Do I [G]push you away?
I'm jet l[Am]aggin' McCracken and I'll give [F]you
I'll give you your space[C]

[C] [G] [Am] [F] [C]

I [C]can tell by the abuse of the b[Em]ackspace key
There's a [Am]heart balanced on how her [F]words are perceived
She's [C]retyped that fourth parag[Em]raph four times
Swinging the [Am]tone back forth until she's [F]so satisfied
That he [C]knows that even though their [Em]paths have diverged
There's an [Am]air of regret but not [F]enough to reverse

And I am [C]stunned, there I sit, [Em]completely convinced
That once you [Am]grow old you stop [F]dealin' with this
The u[C]ncertain, the hurtin', the [Em]feelin like dirt when t[Am]hings don't
Work out by the [F]fall of the curtain
She hits [C]send, powers off, and [Em]we're ready to go
And I am [Am]sad for the passion that [F]McCracken, he might never know

[CHORUS]
[C]Dear McCracken, I'd [G]rather be off this p[Am]lane
I can't admit the half of [F]it that I want to s[C]ay
Do I pretend? Do I [G]push you away?
I'm jet l[Am]aggin' McCracken and I'll give [F]you

I'll give you your

[C]Dear McCracken, I'm [G]keepin' this on my c[Am]hest
I said a lot of things but[F] none of them what [C]I meant
Do I pretend? Do I [G]try to forget?
I'm jet l[Am]aggin' McCracken and I wish you[F]
I wish you the best [C]

[C] [G] [Am] [F]

And I [C]thought, I t[G]hought by that age
O[Am]ur broken h[F]earts had seen their [C]worst
And I [C]thought that k[G]ind of heartache [Am]was meant for the young
But we're [F]never too old to hurt

And I [C]thought, I t[G]hought by that age
[Am]Our broken [F]hearts had seen their [C]worst
And I [C]thought that kind of [G]heartache was [Am]meant for the young
But we're [F]never too old to hurt

[C] [G] [Am] [F]

I just s[C]tepped off a plane, I've got one r[Em]egret
I know I'll [Am]never get closure or ever[F] see how it ends
No I [C]won't know his answer, what ha[Em]ppens between them
And why she [Am]kept her cards so close even she[F] couldn't see them
What gave h[C]er such pause when she [Em]so clearly wanted
To tell you[Am] all the emotions she tried [F]so hard to bottle

And I'll n[C]ever know why she kept the h[E7]onest truth from you
But oh [Am]Dear McCracken
In the [G]rough draft
Oh in the r[F]ough draft
In the rough draft she loved you [C]
