This song was apparently originally called “Icarus Falls”. I kind of like that better than “Aviation’s Over”, so I might change it.

capo 5th fret
transpose from these open chords
Em AM
she was subtle in Spokane
Bm GM
ever graceful in Japan
Em AM
sharp katana in the Badlands
Bm GM
how I loved to be her man
but something that I maybe said
didn’t cross the intersect
like, “did the phoenix love the sphynx
just like katie did?”
DM AM
I broke the canary’s fall
CM GM
outside the granary wall
now I simply can’t remember
’cause aviation’s over
I broke the canary’s fall
inside the prison walls
now we’re playing solitaire
aviation’s over; aviation’s over
instead of this remorse
let’s go on and paint that horse
sit across from you in church
hide the tears inside your purse
Instead of staring to the bliss
maybe we should just forgive
I’m not saying stats are in
but I’m sleepin’ on it now
I broke the canary’s fall
outside the gran’ry walls
now I simply can’t decide
cuz aviation’s over
I broke the canary’s fall
outside of Eden’s walls
she still whistles jingle bells
but aviation’s over; aviation’s over
