At The Bottom Of Everything Chords

[Spoken Intro]
N.C.
So there was this woman and
She was, uh, on an airplane and
She's flying to meet her fiancé
Sailing high above the, the largest ocean
On planet Earth and she was seated
Next to this man who, you know
She had tried to start conversations
And only, really the only thing
She'd heard him say was to order his bloody mary
And she's sitting there and she's reading
This really arduous magazine article about a
Third world country that she couldn't
Even pronounce the-the name of and
She's feeling very bored and very despondent
And then uh, suddenly there's this huge mechanical failure and one of the engines gave out
And they started just falling, thirty thousand feet
And the pilot's on the microphone and he's, he's saying
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh my God, I'm sorry"
And apologizing and, and she looks at the man and she says, she says, she says
 
(palm muting)
"Where are we going?" and he looks at her and he says
"We're going to a party, it, it's a birthday party
It's your birthday party, happy birthday darling
We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much."
And then, uh, he starts humming this little tune and, and uh, it kind of goes like this, it's kind of
One, two, one, two, three, four

We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul
            C                              F

We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
    C                                         F
And in the caverns of tomorrow with only our flashlights and our love
   C                G               C
We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge

We'll see it, oh my God, we'll see it, we'll see it
