Intro:

G
 
Verse 1:
G
I look exhausted
D/F#                          C
 Oh, stiff and awkward on the outside of the moment
                               G
It's not my first time bitter, drunk on a red carpet
D/F#                       C                         Cadd9
  Or my first time losing
and it won't be my last
G                       D/F#
  You said, "Ignore it"
                         C
Oh, California's so much more than some awards show
                                 G                  D/F#
You're no more important than an insect on a window
                                    C                         Cadd9
They'll see you climbing, but won't care until you get close"

Pre-Chorus:
              D
You said some people don't know why they're wolves
          G
They just howl for the sound of it
          C
Some will never know they're beautiful
 
Until the crowd points it out for them
      D
But I see you through a camera flash
       G
I look back and you laugh
            C                         Cadd9
And this is hard, but I feel less far
 
Chorus:
     G                    D/F#
This ain't Watertown, I'm on alien ground
      Em                  D
I'm a collеge kid with my windows down
       C                     D
I'm an astronaut, you're the Moon
  Em                   D
I starе at you, I sing to you
  C          Cadd9
I circle you
 
Verse 2:
G                       D/F#
  Rain on a steel roof, leaks through the ceiling
         C
Hits the patrons in the ballroom
                                G
You said, "Oh, look, babe, even God is trying to warn you
D/F#
  All this ain't for you"
C                        Cadd9
  But I cling to my seat
 
Pre-Chorus:
             D
I guess some people don't know why they're wolves
          G
They just howl for the sound of it
          C
Some will never know they're beautiful
 
Until the crowd points it out for them
      D
But I see you through a camera flash
       G
I look back and you laugh
            C                         Cadd9
And this is hard, but I feel less far
 
Chorus:
     G                    D/F#
This ain't Watertown, I'm on alien ground
      Em                  D
I'm a college kid with my windows down
       C                     D
I'm an astronaut, you're the Moon
  Em                      D
I stare at you, I sing to you
 
Post-Chorus:
      G                      D/F#
And I clutch my cloth, and I bite my tongue
       Em             D
I'm an aging wolf who lost the taste for blood
     C*                    D*
Even anxious pups need the Moon
       Em*                G*
I howl for you, I sing to you
 
Bridge:
         C   Em  D
I circle you
         C   Em  D
I circle you
         C   Em  D
I circle you
