Dsus2 A
You fell out of the sky when you were twenty one,
F#m
Your bomber took a bullet from a German gun,
Bm G
Did you think about your wife, your brief and tender life?
Esus4 E
Did you pray to anyone?
A
How does it feel when you're falling?
F#m
Can you hear sweet angels... calling?
Bm G
Is it empty up in space? Did you touch God's holy face?
Esus4 E
Did you tremble? Did you cry?
Dsus2
Did you fall, or... did you fly?

Dsus2 A
You fell out of your life when you were forty three,
F#m
You saw her, and thought she was your destiny,
Bm G
You've wandered from the path, and we cursed your aftermath,
Esus4 E
But that's ancient history!
