[Intro]
D Bm G
[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
A
At the wrong gate
D
She said hello, where you headed to?
Bm
I didn't lie, but I bent the truth
A
Said I'd go anywhere with you
G
And before long
[Chorus]
D
It was midnight in the middle of JFK
Bm
Trying to take her mind off the fallin' rain
G
I was saying anything to make her laugh
Never wanted anything so bad
D
She got me wishing that she could stay
Doesn't even know that I missed my plane
Bm G
Not a single thing I wouldn't trade
D
For a ticket to L.A
D Bm G
A ticket to L.A
[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
A
I knew almost everything
D
Lightning flashed across the sky
D Bm
I said it probably wasn't safe to fly
A
Secretly I hoped that she'd be stuck with me all night
[Chorus]
D
It was midnight in the middle of JFK
Bm
Trying to take her mind off the fallin' rain
G
I was saying anything to make her laugh
G
Never wanted anything so bad
D
She got me wishing that she could stay
D
Doesn't even know that I missed my plane
Bm G
Not a single thing I wouldn't trade
A Bm
For a ticket to L.A
[Bridge]
A
Now gate 22 is calling out her name
G
She wrote her number on my hand and walked away
[Chorus]
D
Alone here in the middle of JFK
D
Sitting at a bar at an empty gate
D
I'd do anything to bring her back
G
Never wanted anything so bad
D
She got me wishing that she could stay
D
Doesn't even know that I missed my plane
G
Not a single thing I wouldn't trade
D
For a ticket to L.A
Bm G
A ticket to L.A
[Outro]
D
A ticket to L.A
Bm
A ticket to L.A
D Bm
A ticket to L.A
D
