 G        D           G     D        G      A
Soul destroyed with clever toys for little boys
It's inevitable, inevitable, it's a soul destroyed

Chorus:
         G     A   D     Dsus4   D
You're free until you drop
         G         A           Bm
You're free until you've had enough
     A           G
But you don't understand
           D           A#   Gm
You've no ripcord, no ripcord
No ripcord, No ripcord

Aeroplane, do I mean what I mean?
It's inevitable, inevitable, oh aeroplane

Chorus:
A thousand miles an hour
And politics in power
That you don't understand
You've no ripcord, no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord
The answer to your prayers
We'll drop you anywhere
With no ripcord, no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord
