Verse
C G
When the bottom fell out
F C
There wasn't any doubt
Am Em F G
I just suddenly found myself free falling
C G
And from such a height
F C
The wind, it had a bite
Am Em F G
And it took all my might to fight the fright
Am Em F G
The flailing spread eagle must've formed an airfoil or some kinda wing
Am Em F G
And I gained some equilibrium caught myself gliding

F C
Into that vertin grass
Am Em F G C
I will say It's been pretty great going
