[Verse 1]
C
I just stepped on a plane,
Em
my bags on the shelf
Am F
I find my seat in the middle and plan to keep to myself
C
The pilots comes on,
Em
says "there's been a delay"
Am
And I sigh, buckle up,
F
and prepare for the wait
C Em
There's a middle aged woman on my right by the window
Am F
No ring on her finger maybe divorced or a widow?
C Em
She's drafting an email and from where I am seated
Am
I can side eye that shit,
F
so of course I'm gon' read it
C
It said: Dear McCracken
Em Am F
This is already great dude's got a pen pal and a killer
last name
C Em
She opens with an inside joke and she's hopin' to set a
Am F
casual tone, her words carefully chosen
C Em
She was sure that her week spent in Houston would drag
Am F
But then a face from her past quickly changed all of that
C
The trip was for business,
Em
she's used to the travel
Am F
But this time she's not ready to head back to Seattle
[Chorus]
C
Dear McCracken,
G Am
I'd rather be off this plane
F
I can't admit the half of it that I want to say
C G
Do I pretend? Do I push you away?
Am F
I'm jet laggin' McCracken and I'll give you
I'll give you your space
[Verse 2]
C Em Am
F C Em
I can tell by the abuse of the backspace key
Am F
There's a heart balanced on how her words are perceived
C Em
She's retyped that fourth paragraph four times
Am F
Swinging the tone back forth until she's so satisfied
C Em
That he knows that even though their paths have diverged
Am F
There's an air of regret but not enough to reverse
C
And I am stunned, there I sit,
Em
completely convinced
Am F
That once you grow old you stop dealin' with this
C
The uncertain, the hurtin',
Em Am
the feelin' like dirt when things don't
F
Work out by the fall of the curtain
C
She hits send, powers off,
Em
and we're ready to go
Am F
And I am sad for the passion that McCracken,
he might never know
[Chorus]
C
Dear McCracken,
G Am
I'd rather be off this plane
F
I can't admit the half of it that I want to say
C G
Do I pretend? Do I push you away?
Am F
I'm jet laggin' McCracken and I'll give you
I'll give you your
C
Dear McCracken,
G Am
I'm keepin' this on my chest
F
I said a lot of things but none of them what I meant
C G
Do I pretend? Do I try to forget?
Am F
I'm jet laggin' McCracken and I wish you
I wish you the best
[Interlude]
| C | G | Am | F |
[Bridge]
C G
And I thought, I thought by that age
Am F
Our broken hearts had seen their worst
C G Am
And I thought that kind of heartache was meant for the
young
F
But we're never too old to hurt
C G
And I thought, I thought by that age
Am F
Our broken hearts had seen their worst
C G Am
And I thought that kind of heartache was meant for the
young
F
But we're never too old to hurt

[Verse 3]
C
I just stepped off a plane,
Em
I've got one regret
Am F
I know I'll never get closure or ever see how it ends
C
No I won't know his answer,
Em
what happens between them
Am F
And why she kept her cards so close even she couldn't see
them
C Em
What gave her such pause when she so clearly wanted
Am F
To tell you all the emotions she tried so hard to bottle
C E
And I'll never know why she kept the honest truth from you
Am
But oh Dear McCracken
G
In the rough draft
F
Oh in the rough draft
In the rough draft she loved you
