[Verse 1]
        Bb              Am
We were leaving L.A. airport
       Gm            F
Me and Midland's misery
      Bb            Am
On an early morning plane flight out
        Gm        F
To some radio X.Y.Z.


[Verse 2]
      Bb     Am
Was a 1950's prop-job
         Gm               F
That had seen much better days
        Bb                Am
When we came on in to the last approach
        Gm               F
Saw the runway through a haze


[Chorus]
        Dm           Eb     F
And the wheels ain't coming down
       Dm      Eb           Bb
All of my nine lives passed before my eyes
        Dm           Eb     F
And the wheels ain't coming down
        Dm Eb             Bb          C
And you realize you wanna stay alive
                F    Bb
You wanna stay alive

[Verse 3]
      Bb                Am
Women weeping, children playing
      Gm            F
As we roared into a climb
        Bb              Am
Men was praying, we was drinking lots
       Gm           F
And it never cost a dime


[Verse 4]
        Bb                 Am
Altered course for San Francisco
         Gm           F
Standing by on a red alert
      Bb               Am
Gonna chance a landing on the sea
       Gm          F
Hoping nobody gets hurt


[Chorus]
        Dm           Eb     F
And the wheels ain't coming down
       Dm      Eb           Bb
All of my nine lives passed before my eyes
        Dm           Eb     F
And the wheels ain't coming down
        Dm Eb             Bb          C
And you realize you wanna stay alive
                F     Bb
You wanna stay alive


[Break]
            F     Bb
Wanna stay alive
      F    Bb F
Stay alive


[Verse 5]
     Bb                Am
We applauded Chuck the captain
         Gm                   F
When our feet had touched the ground
      Bb               Am
And I won't forget the moment he said
      Gm                             F
It's OK folks, the wheels are coming down


[Chorus]
        Dm             Eb     F
And the wheels they're coming down
        Dm Eb          Bb
And you realize it's good to be alive
        Dm             Eb     F
And the wheels they're coming down
        Dm Eb          Bb                  C
And you realize you're gonna just survive
                 F    Bb
It's good to be alive


[Outro]
                 F    Bb
It's good to be alive
               F    Bb
They're coming down
               F       Bb
They're coming on down
               F       Bb
They're coming on down
               F       Bb
They're coming on down
