Tabbed by:Joecool71

If you're playing with standard tuning (like me) and you don't wanna mess around
with your guitar strings, just play each note four frets below the note tabbed. Enjoy!

Break
These sound like they're in standard tuning on acoustic guitar.
If you want to play this part on your downtuned guitar, just add 4 frets.

LYRICS
Silent hell on the marble slab
The best trip that I've ever had
Higher than a jet plane, pass it around
My drinks on empty, need another round

[chorus:]
I wanna fly, wanna ride with you
Is this the best that you can do?
I wanna fly, wanna ride with you
Higher than a jet plane with you

Will we arrive in the middle of nowhere
Don't act like you know, I been here so many times
I never seen you before
But now that I have, I don't wanna see you no more

Higher than a jet plane with you
Higher than a jet plane with you

[repeat chorus]

Ah-ah, auto pilot no control
Ah-ah, ahh
Ah-ah, auto pilot no control
Ah-ah, ahh

Higher than a jet plane with you
Higher than a jet plane with you

[repeat chorus]
