Mood : Emo Mood + Happy Mood (Hope)
Key : A Major
This song contains quite a substantial amount of Rap parts, which means, during those parts, you play the background music rather than following the lyrics. I personally find the most attractive feature in this song is the background music where you can hear a bit of the piano. The introduction of the song is pretty cool too with those echoing effects which can't be imitated on the piano. To learn the intro, you need to listen really carefully to the first notes that are played rather than getting confused with the echo or trails. The entire song is on chords F#, D, A simple huh?
Click HERE to watch my version, I did not play the echo. Just the notes.
Introduction
Listen to the first notes carefully, don't play the echo unless you're really fast. I'm not that fast. Chords are F#, D, A. Use chords for the Right Hand.
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
(Left Hand dances on chord F#, D, A, if possible, shorter on D then jumps to A, like the actual song, it's not easy to do that. That means you play a very short D bass, then jumps to A. Right Hand plays the melody with chords)
Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you're staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin' what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
(The Rap Part, well, the first half of the rap part, the background is pretty simple, you just play the chords according to the drum beat of that part, while the second part has a very gentle piano as background played in tandem with the accompaniment of the song. The notes for this piano part are:
A, A, G#, G#, C#, E, F#, C# then A, A, B, B, C#, C#, B, A) - octaves
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

Somebody take me back to the days
Before this was a job, before I got paid
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Yeah back when I was tryin' to get into the subway
And back when I was rappin' for the hell of it
But now a days we rappin' to stay relevant
I'm guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo maybe I'll go back to the days
Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when ain't nobody listened to my mix tape
And back before I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for the Cada, what's up Bobby Ray
So can I get a wish to end the politics
And get back to the music that started this sh-t
So here I stand and then again I say
I'm hopin' we can make some wishes outta airplanes
