(relative to capo)
----C---F---G---Am---
e|--0---1---3---0---|
B|--1---1---0---1---|
G|--0--(2)--0---2---|
D|-<2>--3---0---2---|
A|--3---3---2-------|
E|----------3-------|
The into and verse strum pattern are the same - there is a hammer
on and off on the D string during the C chord twice to get that
note change, and the G string is opened at the end of the F chord.
Listen to the song and mess around with hammering during the
C chord and opening the F chord and you will get it!

Intro:
Verse:
Caught in the middle of a crossfire
()
Lost my balance on a high wire
Trying to figure out what to do
Pushed to the edge of my reason
()
Everywhere around me it's treason
I don't want to do that to you
Chorus:
Kamikaze airplanes in the sky
Are we going down or will we fly?
This could be a shipwreck on the shore
Or we could sail away forevermore
(Intro pattern )
This time it's sink or swim, sink or swim
Hearing the song in your laughter
A melody I chase after
No one else has done this to me
Kamikaze airplanes in the sky
Are we going down or will we fly?
This could be a shipwreck on the shore
Or we could sail away forevermore
This time it's sink or swim, sink or swim
Bridge:
Take a deep breath
No more time left
This is what I thought I wanted
Why am I afraid?
Kamikaze airplanes in the sky
Are we going down or will we fly?
This could be a shipwreck on the shore
Or we could sail away forevermore
Kamikaze airplanes in the sky
Are we going down or will we fly?
This could be a shipwreck on the shore
Or we could sail away forevermore
This time it's sink or swim, sink or swim
