Me And The Sky chords

[VERSE]
[Db] My parents must have [Gb]though[Ab]t they had a crazy [Db]kid
'Cause I was one of those [Gb]kids[Ab] who always knew what I [Db]wanted
[Ab] They took me [Gb]down to the airport to see all the planes departing
[Db]Watching them fly something inside of me was starting
[Gb] I was eight when I told them that I'd be a [Ab]pilot
But I was too [Gb]young and too short
[Gb]And there were no female captains
And my [Db]dad said, "be patient" he said, "just see what happens"
But I [Gb]took my first lesson came down from the sky
Ab N.C.
And told my father I'd fly for the rest of my life
And I [Gb]got my first job flying for a mortician
In a [Db]tiny bonanza, just a corpse and me
Five d[Gb]ollars an hour for flying dead bodies
I had to [Db]climb over their faces just to [Ab]get to my seat

[PRE-CHORUS]
And [Gb]suddenly the wheels lift [Db]off
The ground is falling [Gb]backwards
I am sudden[Ab]ly alive

[CHORUS]
[Bbm]Suddenly I'm in the [Ab]cockpit
[Gb] Suddenly everything's changed
[Bbm]Suddenly I'm not too [Ab]young or too short
And the [Gb]passengers in the bac[Ab]k dN.C.
on't complain
[Bbm]Suddenly I'm flying [Ab]company charters
[Gb] Suddenly everything's high
[Bbm]Suddenly there's nothing [Ab]in between N.C.
me and the [Db]sky [Gb] [Ab]

[VERSE]
[Db] American [Gb]Airline[Ab]s had the prettiest [Db]planes
So I app[Gb]lied as a flight engineer
But the World War II [Ab]pilots, they all complained
They said, "girls shouldn't [Gb]be in the cockpit"
"Hey lady, hey baby, hey! [Db]Why don't you grab us a drink?"
And the [Gb]flight attendants weren't my friends back then
And they said, "Are you [Db]better than us, do you [Ab]thinN.C.
k?"

[PRE-CHORUS]
But [Gb]I kept getting hired
And the [Ab]World War II crew, they retired
And the [Gb]girls all thought much higher of [Ab]me N.C.

1986 the first female Ame[Gb]rican captain in [Ab]history

[CHORUS]
[Bbm]Suddenly I'm in the [Ab]cockpit
[Gb] Suddenly I've got my wings
[Bbm]Suddenly all of those [Ab]pilots protested me
Well the[Gb]y can get their own [Ab]driN.C.
nks!
[Bbm]Suddenly there's no one [Ab]saying "stay grounded"
[Gb] Looking down, passing them by
[Bbm]Suddenly there's nothing [Ab]in between N.C.
me and the [Db]sky [Gb] [Ab]

[BRIDGE]
Suddenly I've [Ab]got an all female crew
The news talked, it made [Gb]headlines across the [Ab]world
Suddenly it [Bbm]stopped
No one saying, "You [Ab]can't" or "You won't"
Or "You [Gb]know you're not anything [Ab]'cause you're a girl"

[OUTRO]
[Gb]Suddenly I'm getting [Ab]married
And we're putting [Gb]pins on the map where we've [Ab]flown
[Gb]Suddenly I am a [Ab]mother
And suddenly [Gb]shocked at how much they've [Ab]grown
[Gb]Suddenly I'm wondering how my [Ab]parents would feel
Seeing me [Gb]teaching men to be [Ab]pilots
'Cause [Gb]suddenly I am a [Ab]senior instructor and [Bbm]somehow I'm 51
[Gb]Suddenly I'm flying [Ab]Paris to Dallas
Across The [Gb]Atlantic and feeling [Ab]calm
When [Gb]suddenly someone on [Ab]air to air traffic says
"At [Gb]8:46 there's been a [Ab]terrorist action"
And the [Gb]one thing I loved more than [Ab]anything was used N.C.
as the bomb [Bbm]
[Gb]Suddenly I'm in a [Ab]hotel
[Gb]Suddenly something has [Ab]died
[Gb]Suddenly there's something [Ab]in between me and the sky [Db]
