[Intro]
G  Cadd9  F6/9  Cadd9  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                                           Cadd9      F6/9  Cadd9
Sittin' out here on the hood of this truck, lookin' up
     G                         Cadd9    F6/9  Cadd9
At a caramel colored sunset sky
G                                        Cadd9
Checkin' my watch, doin' the math in my head
       F6/9   Cadd9    G                    Cadd9     F6/9  Cadd9
Countin' back words to when you said "goodbye"
           Em                            F
Well those runway lights are getting brighter
 
 
[Chorus 1]
C                                  Fmaj7
I'm just sittin' out here watching airplanes
C             Fmaj7
Take off, and fly
C                                        Fmaj7
Tryin' to figure out which one you might be on
     C             Fmaj7
And why you don't love me anymore
      Am                  G             F
Right now I'm sittin' out here watching airplanes
 
 
[Interlude]
G   Cadd9    F6/9  Cadd9
 
 
[Verse 2]
    G                                            Cadd9     F6/9  Cadd9
I would've lied, could've cried, should've tried harder
     G                        Cadd9    F6/9  Cadd9
Done anything to make you stay
         G                                    Cadd9    F6/9
I wonder what you'd do if you looked out your window
    Cadd9 G                     Cadd9               F6/9  Cadd9
Saw me runnin' down the runway, just like I was crazy
         Em                        F
But that fence is too high, so am I
 
 
[Chorus 2]
C                                  Fmaj7
I'm just sittin' out here watching airplanes
C             Fmaj7
Take off, and fly
C                                        Fmaj7
Tryin' to figure out which one you might be on
     C             Fmaj7
And why you don't love me anymore
 
 
[Bridge]
   Am                G                D/F#      F
By now I know you're thirty thousand feet above me
        Bb           F/A     Bb            F/A
But a million miles away, a million miles away
   Am                  G                  F
By now I know I outta' act like you don't love me
 
 
[Chorus 3]
    C                                  Fmaj7
But I'm just sittin' out here watching airplanes
C                Fmaj7
Take off, and fly
C                                  Fmaj7
I'm just sittin' out here watching airplanes
C               Fmaj7
Take off, and fly
C                                        Fmaj7
Tryin' to figure out which one you might be on
     C             Fmaj7
And why you don't love me anymore
 
 
[Chorus 4]
     C                                  Fmaj7
Yeah I'm just sittin' out here watching airplanes
    C           Fmaj7
Go bye, bye, bye
C                                  Fmaj7
I'm just sittin' out here watching airplanes
           C                Fmaj7
Baby bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

i appreciate your comment. Did you tune your guitar down a half-step? if you did you should be able to hear it. Gary plays this song a half step down, and when i plugged in your chords it didn't sound right.
