Verse 1:
F               Bb
Orion you lucky bastard
    Dm                           C                            F
You hung your belt in stars like tacks in the sky’s cracking plaster
                   Bb
I know it doesn’t make sense
    Dm                              C
But God it makes me jealous when I just wanna run away
    Bb                            F
And holding your hand feels like touching the sun
   Bb                                 F
It makes me feel like jumping off of cliffs might be fun
    Bb
I’m really not the impulsive type but
Dm
every single goddamn night
  C
I stare at those three stars and I beg them

Chorus:
     Bb                       Dm
Just stand at the edge of the world
        C
Wait, I promise I’m running as fast as I can
Bb                    Dm
Catch me there at the dead end
          C
And we’ll wander off the beaten path but only if you want to and
Bb         Dm     C
Let’s take off to I don’t know where just as long as it’s away from here and
Bb         F       C
We’re long gone to I don’t really care as long as we’re together and
C
Higher than Orion

F Bb Dm C

Verse 2:
F               Bb
Orion I’m fucking jealous
    Dm                           C                         F
You see him every night while I sit here alone on this terrace
             Bb                 Dm               C
Watching the moon go by in the sky wishing I could hitch a ride
    Bb                      F
And I’d walk for miles and I'd swim the sea
Bb                        F
All if it meant you would be next to me
     Bb                        Dm
Well maps tend to lie but the north star shines bright
    C
And I don't care if I don't get a wink of sleep tonight just


Chorus:
Bb                       Dm
Stand at the edge of the world
        C
Wait, I promise I’m running as fast as I can
Bb                    Dm
Catch me there at the dead end
          C
And we’ll wander off the beaten path but only if you want to and
Bb         Dm     C
Let’s take off to I don’t know where just as long as it’s away from here and
Bb         F       C
We’re long gone to I don’t really care as long as we’re together and
C
Higher than Orion

Outro:
F          Bb       Dm               C
We’re just runaways running from the past so
F        Bb                Dm                  C
Let's forget our names and make something that lasts
