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

    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

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
Am  Em Em Em * Am   Em Em Em *    C    G
300 miles out into the ocean we’d sail
