Verse 1
[D]Gate 22, 2 hour delay
[D]She was waiting on a plane to L.A
[Bm]I didn't see the harm in sitting down

I didn't lie, but I bent the truth[Bm]truth
Said I'd go anywhere with you [A]
And before long[G]long
Chorus
It was [D]midnight in the middle of JFK
Trying to take her mind off the fallin' rain [Bm]
I was saying anything to make her laugh [G]
Never wanted anything so bad

Doesn't even know that I missed my plane
[Bm]Not a single thing I wouldn't t[G]trade
For a ticket to L.A [D]
[D]A ticket to L.A [Bm] [G]
Verse 2
[D]She opened up after a drink
[D]Said she's starting law school in the spring
[Bm]And by the time that she had three

[D]I said it probably wasn't safe to fly [Bm]
Secretly I hoped that she'd be [A]stuck with me all night
