Capo 5th Fret


[verse]
E
Lying on your back at night
E
Pointing out a satellite
  Amaj7               E
A dim distant made up star
E
Slowly fades out of sight
E
Kind of like your appetite
Amaj7                    E
Who you were and who you are

We’ve all got the same questions
B9sus4               C#m
Don’t ask me what my advice is
F#m11                 Asus2
Every day’s a midlife crisis


[verse]
E
Button on your workplace face
E
Like a helmet made for outer space
   Amaj7               E
So no one can hear you scream
E
Meeting bleeding into lunch
E
Everyone’s talking at once
Amaj7              E
No one can see you dreaming
