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
[Instrumental]
