[Verse 1]
F                       C
 If you're ever sitting at
the airport
F                     C
 And you don't wanna leave
F                  C
 Don't even know what
you're there for
Am
 Send for me
F
 If you're ever heartsick
 C
 in an elevator
F                C
 Full of bachelorettes
F                      C
 Cornered in and it's taking
forever
Am
 Please don't forget
