Intro:

Am (x4)

Am        F
Smoke clouds have thickened
  C       G
to black out the stars
  Am      C
the night sky is lit now
  F       G
by headlights of cars
    Am      F
and the moon holds no purpose
  C      G    Am  F G G
but pulling the tides anymore


Instrumental: (x2)

Verse 1:

Am
Blow out the candles
Am
blow out the candles
C
throw on the light switch
  G            Am
and bask in the fluorescent glow
        Am
we’re guided by satellites
       C
we don’t need stars anymore
     G
can’t see stars anymore


Chorus 1:

    Am     F
With a nine on the bortle
   C       G
we’ve blown out the stars
Am       F
smashed all the lanterns
  C       G
to burn down the barns
     Am      F
and with less than one hundredth
  C         G     Dm*
in sight to guide us home after dark
Em  Em
we’re lost


Instrumental:

Am F C G
Am C F G
Am F C G C E

Verse 2:

  Am
The streetlights have killed them
  Am
the street lights have killed them
   C           G
we’ve laid to rest gods in a tomb

born of city lights
  Am
and out in the flatlands
  Am
we thought that we’d found them
  C
but still the horizon
  G
did glow like a brush fire


Chorus 2:

    Am     F
With a nine on the bortle
   C       G
we’ve blown out the stars
Am       F
smashed all the lanterns
  C       G
to burn down the barns
    Am      F
and the moon holds no purpose
   C      C     G
save pulling the tides on a planet
G      Dm *
encrusted in fluorescent lights


Instrumental:

Am F C G
Am C F G
Am F C G C E
      Accelerando


Bridge:

Am        F
Smoke clouds have thickened
  C       G
to black out the stars
  Am      C
the night sky is lit now
  F       G
by headlights of cars
    Am      F
and the moon holds no purpose
  C      G    Am  F G G
but pulling the tides anymore

Verse 3:

Am       F
300 miles we’d sail off the coast
  C          G
to be reunited with the skies of our hosts
    Am
and at night soon the rivers
F               C  G
reflect nothing more than the moon


Chorus 1:

    Am     F
With a nine on the bortle
   C       G
we’ve blown out the stars
Am       F
smashed all the lanterns
  C       G
to burn down the barns
     Am      F
and with less than one hundredth
  C         G     Dm *
in sight to guide us home after dark
Em  Em
we’re lost

Verse 4:

Am    Am
300 miles 300 miles
  C
out into the ocean
   G
we’d sail to remember them

300 miles out into the ocean we’d sail
