      F                  C
 I've locked myself in a hotel room
      F                        C
 Then waited all night for the walls to move
      F                       C
 I've loved some girls that I barely knew
      F                           C
 I've made some friends, and I've lost some too
 F                     C
 Crashed my car, I was seventeen
    F                         C
 My mother in the seat riding next to me
     F                          C
 The things I've learned from a broken mirror
       F                      C
 How a face can change when a heart knows fear

     Dm
 For all the things my eyes have seen,
     F
 The best by far is you

             C                Am
 If I could fly, then I would know
                 F                             C
 What life looks like from up above and down below
              G                  Am
 I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry
           F                           C
 Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite

 And you're the sky

F C G Am


      F                    C
 I've café crawled through Amsterdam
 F                            C
 Been around the world with a punk rock band
     F                          C
 And I've seen London, and I've played Japan
 F                             C
 I've been knocked down, I got up again

     Dm
 For all the places I have been,
     F
 I'm no place without you

             C                Am
 If I could fly, then I would know
                 F                             C
 What life looks like from up above and down below
              G                  Am
 I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry
           F                           C
 Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
                F
 And you're the sky


 F C G Am
 Oh, Oh
              F  C
 I'm the satellite

 And you're the sky

     Dm
 For all the things my hands have held,
     F
 The best by far is you

 If I could fly, then I would know
                 F                             C
 What life looks like from up above and down below
              G                  Am
 I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry
           N/C
 Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
                F C
 And you're the sky

 And you're the sky
             F C
 I'm the satellite
                G Am
 And you're the sky
                F C  F C F C
