[Verse]
EbI just steppedGm on a plane, my bags on the shelf I fiCmnd my seat Abin the middle and plan to keep to myself The Ebpilot comes Gmon, says "there's been a delay" And I Cmsigh, buckle Abup, and prepare for the wait
TherEbe's a middGmle-aged woman on my right by the window No Cmring on her finAbger maybe divorced or a widow? She's Ebdrafting Gman email and from where I am seated I can Cmside-eyeAb that shit, so of course I'm gon' read it
It said:
EbDear McCrGmacken… ThisCm is alreadyAb great dude's got a pen pal and a killer last name She Ebopens with an Gminside joke and she's hopin' to Cmset a caAbsual tone, her words carefully chosen ShEbe was sure tGmhat her week spent in Houston would drag, but tCmhen a face froAbm her past quickly changed all of that The Ebtrip was foGmr business, she's used to the travel, butCm this time sheAb's not ready to head back to Seattle
EbDear McCraBbcken, I'd ratheCmr be off this plane I can't Abadmit thEbe half of it that I want to say Do I prBbetend? Do I push you away? I'Cmm jet laggiAbn' McCracken and I'll give you, I'll give you your space
Eb Gm Cm Ab
I can Ebtell by the aGmbuse of the backspace key therCme's a heart Abbalanced on how her words are perceived She's Ebretyped that Gmfourth paragraph four times SwinginCmg the tone backAb and forth until she's so satisfied ThEbat he knows tGmhat even though their paths have diverged ThereCm's an air oAbf regret but not enough to reverse
AndEb I am stunneGmd, there I sit, completely convinced That Cmonce you gAbrow old you stop dealin' with this The uncEbertain, Gmthe hurtin', the feelin like dirt When Cmthings don'tAb work out by the fall of the curtain SheEb hits send, pGmowers off, and we're ready to go AndCm I am sad forAb the passion that McCracken, he might never know
EbDear McCraBbcken, I'd ratheCmr be off this plane I can't Abadmit theEb half of it that I want to say Do I prBbetend? Do I push you away? I'Cmm jet laggiAbn' McCracken and I’ll give you, I'll give you your...
EbDear McCraBbcken, I'm keepiCmn' this on my chest I said a Ablot of things bEbut none of them what I meant Do I prBbetend? Do I try to forget? I'Cmm jet laAbggin' McCracken and I wish you, I wish you the best
Eb Bb Cm Ab
EbAnd I tBbhought, CmI thought by that age Our bAbroken hearts had seen their worst EbAnd I thoBbught thatCm kind of heartache was meant For thAbe young but we're never too old to hurt
EbAnd I tBbhought, CmI thought by that age Our bAbroken hearts had seen their worst EbAnd I thoBbught thatCm kind of heartache was meant For thAbe young but we're never too old to hurt
[Instrumental] Eb Gm Cm Ab
EbI just stepGmped off a plane, I've got one regret I knowCm I'll never geAbt closure or ever see how it ends No I Ebwon't know Gmhis answer, what happens between them And why she Cmkept her caAbrds so close even she couldn't see them What Ebgave her suchGm pause? When she so clearly wanted To telCml you all the eAbmotions she tried so hard to bottle And I'll Ebnever know why she kept the G7honest truth from you But Cmoh Dear McCracken In the Bbrough draft Oh iAbn the rough draft In the rEbough draft she loved you
