The Passenger by The Wallflowers
words and music by Jakob Dylan
Intro: B E F# B
B E
Permission now to let this thing land
F# B
I'm too far gone to know where I am
B E
Conditions are worse than we planned
F# B
Permission now to let this thing land
B E
Heading straight into the blackness
B E
Beyond the point of ever turning back
B E
Slipping off the radar through a hole in space
F# B
Goes the passenger sitting backwards
Adam took the apple
I was not involved
I'm not responsible for how lost we are
Batten down the hatches, extinction calls
But Adam took the apple
I was not involved
Heading straight into the blackness
Way beyond the point of ever turning back
Slipping off the radar through a hole in space
Goes the passenger sitting backwards
F#
Maybe a rumble
B
Maybe nothing more
F#
Maybe a thunder
B
There before she blows
(I can't figure this out right now...I will later)
Maybe not a big bang
But just a little white noise
Key Change : D G A D
then it changes back
B E
Into the furnace of red twilight
F# B
Threading like a needle through searchlights
Fading further and spinning right
Into the furnace of red twilight
Heading straight into the blackness
Too far gone, now there's no turning back
Slipping off the radar into a hole in space
Goes the passenger sitting backwards
