• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Verse 1:
   C        Em             Am
I hold your picture in my hand
C               Em          Am
The faded polaroid sits firmly in my grasp
     C               Em                 Am                 C            Em
Its plain old little frame has aged far past the age that it would be replaced
Em
But there are no picture frames in space


   C           Em        Am
I saw the most beautiful sight
       C              Em                   Am
I came up to saturn’s rings and flew right on by the side
        C                   Em               Am                    C            Em
I don’t want to sound too saccharine, but I couldn’t help but be reminded of your eyes
Em
You know I always try

Chorus:
      C                                     G
When each star looks just like the next it all just feels so blue
           Bb                                   F
All these light years that I travel, I still travel without you
F              G                    C           Am
Galaxies all around me, they all glitter with a passion, they say
C                 Am                 G
Hold on boy, one day you’ll be back home


Verse 2:
   C       Em              Am
I lay surrounded in black sky
C               Em         Am
Lost for all eternity but time still moves on by
        C               Em                  Am      C             Em
The brilliant comet’s tails are still so gallantly bright I could cry
                Em
But there’s no place to wipe my eyes


      C        Em              Am
The vessel I reside in isn’t fixed
        C                   Em         Am
These walls I swore were parallel now skew aside like this
      C                  Em                 Am           C               Em
But perhaps I might be seeing things, I’ve been alone so long I can’t be sure
Em
You would tell me what's wrong


Chorus:
        C                                   G
When each star looks just like the next it all just feels so blue
           Bb                                  F
All these light years that I travel, I still travel without you
F               G                  C             Am
Galaxies all around me, they all glitter with a passion, they say
C                 Am                G
Hold on boy, one day you’ll be back home
