Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)


Verse 1:
C majorC                          FF
You keep carnival pictures of us inside your wallet, still
How does that feel?
C majorC                             FF
You see our life in paintings on the backs of your eyes at night,
Isn't that right?

Pre-Chorus:
          A minorAm             FF
We could've had it all, cause when the comets fall
        C majorC
They spark for life

Chorus:
      E MajorE         FF
I'm not an astronaut in your galaxy,
     F minorFm
I'm your oxygen mask
C majorC     E MajorE       FF
I'm not a bottle in your stormy sea,
     F minorFm
I'm your last life raft
  C majorC        E MajorE
And you act like you don't remember,
FF           F minorFm
That don't mean you're doing better
C majorC      E MajorE          FF
You need me like the Earth needs gravity,
     F minorFm
You can't get rid of me

Verse 2:
C majorC                       FF
If I was a supernova would you let go, explode tonight?
Would you recognize me?
C majorC
If I laid the Milky Way for us,
                FF
And showed you through ten telescopes,
Could you let that go?

Pre-Chorus 2:
      A minorAm
You used to say let's build a rocket
      FF
So when we grow and we can't stop it,
        C majorC
We can fly away

Chorus:
      E MajorE         FF
I'm not an astronaut in your galaxy,
     F minorFm
I'm your oxygen mask
C majorC     E MajorE       FF
I'm not a bottle in your stormy sea,
     F minorFm
I'm your last life raft
  C majorC        E MajorE
And you act like you don't remember,
FF           F minorFm
That don't mean you're doing better
C majorC      E MajorE          FF
You need me like the Earth needs gravity,
     F minorFm
You can't get rid of me

C majorC E MajorE FF F minorFm x 4

OUTRO CHORUS:
C majorC     E MajorE         FF
I'm not an astronaut in your galaxy
C majorC     E MajorE         FF
I'm not a bottle in your stormy sea
C majorC      E MajorE          FF
You need me like the Earth needs gravity
       F minorFm
You can't get rid of me
