Astronaut

[Intro]
Bb
Ah (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Bb7/Ab
Ah (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Gm
Ah (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
   F       F7
Ah-ah (Ah, ah)
 
[Verse 1]
Bb
   They say she's pretty
Bb7/Ab
   She comes from money
Gm                                      F
   She gives you everything I couldn't give
Bb
   You take her to the beach
Bb7/Ab
   You talk rationally
Gm                                        F     F7
   That's the kind of life I could never live
 
[Chorus]
              Bb
'Cause I'm an astronaut (Ah, ah)
    Bb7/Ab
I'm tethered to the stars (Ah, ah)
             Bb
Yeah, I'm an astronaut (Ah, ah)
                     Bb7/Ab
Who still thinks the world could be ours (Ah, ah)
 
[Post-Chorus]
       Gm
When I sit here and watch you and her from outer space
  Gm
I watch every part of me be replaced
      F                 F7        Bb
And slowly, but surely, I drift away
 
[Verse 2]
Bb
   They say you sing to her
    Bb7/Ab
(Ah-ah) She understands your humor
    Gm                                                   F
(Ah-ah) I'm glad you found yourself someone you can tie down (Ah-ah)
      Bb
 Oh-oh, let me ask you something small
    Bb7/Ab
(Ah-ah) Are you recycling it all?
           Gm
All of the sweet little words and the perfect slow burns
         F
I wonder if you told her I did that shit first
 
[Chorus]
F7              Bb
Mmm, but I'm an astronaut (Ah)
                    Bb7/Ab
Could never keep my feet on the ground (Ah, ah)
             Bb
Yeah, I'm an astronaut (Ah, ah)
               Bb7/Ab
My dreams were too big to make you proud (Ah, ah)
 
[Post-Chorus]
     Gm
So I sit here and watch you and her from outer space
  Gm
I watch every part of me be replaced
      F                 F7          Bb
And slowly, but surely, I'll drift away
 
[Bridge]
     Bb                           Bb7/Ab
You couldn't handle my lunacy, my voice, my opportunity
    Gm                              F
The distance and my confidence, no you couldn't put up with it
     Bb                               Bb7/Ab
You left me stranded in the stars and ran into another's arms
     Gm
Will you see me on the T.V. and be proud?
       F                               F7
Until then, just please do not forget about
 
[Chorus]
            Bb
Your little astronaut
      Bb7/Ab
Who's tethered to the stars
            Bb
Your little astronaut
                     Bb7/Ab
Who still thinks the world could be ours
 
[Post-Chorus]
      Gm
Who's sittin' and watchin' you and her from outer space
  Gm
I watch every part of me be replaced
     F                  F7              Bb
And slowly, but surely, I'll, I'll be okay
 
[Outro]
Bb       Bb7/Ab  Gm F            Bb
(Ah, ah) Mmm,   mmm,   I'll be okay
