G#m(E)  x66400      F#m7(4) x44200       Bsus x24400


E5    (B(4))  A(9)    (B(4))  E5    (B(4))  A(9)    (B(4))
[intro; B(4)'s in parentheses are short.]

E5                                           B(4)             A(9)
  I don't want to be standing here with this ticket for this outbound plane
E5                                    B(4)            A(9)
  Cause I've been here before and somehow it doesn't feel the same
E5                                B(4)           A(9)
  But talk is cheap and we could talk all night long and we may
E5                        B(4)              A(9)
  Never figure out just where our love went wrong

     A(9)                                 G#m(E)
And I don't want to be standing here and I don't want to be talking here
     F#m7(4)                       Bsus
And I don't really care who's to blame
          E5         B(4)        A(9)      G#m(E)
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
               F#m7(4)    Bsus      E5    (B(4))  A(9)    (B(4))
It's going to catch that outbound plane [repeat intro]

The old folks say that love's not forever anymore
Because these young people walk away from love, alone to pace the floor
Young or old I say that love is still the same
And you may walk away from love but you won't fall over heels again

And I don't want to be standing here and I don't want to be talking here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

A(9)                         G#m(E)
  Two lonely hearts in this airport knowing,
F#m7(4)                        Bsus
  Neither one cares where that other heart is going
       E5           B(4)      A(9)     G#m(E)
But if love won't fly on its own free will
            F#m7(4)    Bsus      E5
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

That frown you're wearing's just your halo turned upside down.
Where's the laughter we once shared back in the lost and found?
These broken wings are gonna leave me here to stand my ground
And you can have this ticket, for that lonely plane that's flying out

And I don't want to be standing here and I don't want to be talking here
And I don't really care who's to blame
'Cause if love won't fly on it's own free will
It's gonna catch that outbound plane

About artist:

Nanci Caroline Griffith, (born July 6, 1953 in Seguin, Texas) is an American singer, guitarist and songwriter from Austin, Texas.

Griffith's career has spanned a variety of musical genres, predominantly country, folk, and what she terms "folkabilly." Griffith won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 1994 for her recording, Other Voices, Other Rooms. This album features Griffith covering the songs of artists who are her major influences. Her best-known song is "From a Distance" by Julie Gold, although Bette Midler's version achieved greater commercial success. Similarly, other artists have occasionally achieved greater success with Griffith's songs than Griffith herself. For example, Kathy Mattea had a country music top five hit with a 1986 cover of Griffith's "Love at the Five and Dime," and Suzy Bogguss had one of her largest hits with Griffith's and Tom Russell's "Outbound Plane."

Griffith was married to singer-songwriter Eric Taylor from 1976 to 1982. In the early 1990s, she was engaged to singer-songwriter Tom Kimmel, but the couple parted before marrying. Griffith is a survivor of breast cancer which was diagnosed in 1996, and thyroid cancer in 1998.[1]

Griffith has in recent years toured with various other artists including Buddy Holly's band, The Crickets, John Prine, Iris DeMent, Suzy Bogguss and Judy Collins. Griffith has recorded duets with many artists, among them Don McLean, Jimmy Buffett, Willie Nelson, Adam Duritz (Singer of Counting Crows), and Darius Rucker (Singer of Hootie & the Blowfish). She has also contributed background vocals on many other recordings.[2] She is particularly popular in Ireland,[citation needed] and has recorded with The Chieftains.
