Capo 3
Verse 1:
E A
Now if you're gonna play your games with me
A A/G E D
Like a leaf in the the top of the tree
A E D
You better watch your step when you're coming back down
G C
From the city on out to the sea
Verse 2:
E A
And if your brothers come after me
A A/G E D
With their horses so wild and so free
A E D
I'll be waiting at the gate in a terrible state
G C
With the man who holds the key
G C
And he'll treat you quite carelessly
Prechorus:
A E D
For he knows my face from a previous place
G C
From a country in a foreign land
G C G/B
Throwing dice in a game of chance on the sand
A E D
But I lost my cool, and fate loves a fool
G C
Now I'm standing on the edge of the past
G D/F# Em D A C
In my spacesuit hoping that this woman will call me at last
Chorus:
E D A G C A7
'Cause I'm an astronaut on the shores of this grand illusion
E D A G C
And I'm falling down at the sound of this beating heart
A7 C
Yeah, this beating heart
A7 D B7,Em,D/F#, G,A
Yeah, this beating heart
Bridge:
E,D,A
A,G,E
E D A
Your friends all tell you that you gotta make a change
A G E
Gotta make this break in so many kind of ways
E D A
The sky to the trees, from the trees to the earth'
A G E
From the earth to your grave, from the grave to your birth
E D A
Your heart's been heavy with the silver and the gold
A G E
But the gold ain't yours 'cause his heart's been sold
C D
For to pay your lover's way
G G/F# A7
And the ship it sails today E
E D A
Oh my, my now we're rollin' by and by
A G E
Got my children to light the way
E D A
Oh my, my now we're rollin' by and by
A G E
Got my brothers to light the way
E D A
Oh my, my now we're rollin' by and by
A G E
Got my sisters to light the way
C D
You gotta pay your lover's way
G G/F# A7
And the ship it sails today
Verse 3:
E A
So if you're gonna play your games with me
A A/G E
Better use some real trickery
A E D
You better get smart 'cause that lock on your heart
G C
It ain't as heavy as it used to be
G C
In a land without no gravity
A E D
In this windless place, on the edge of space
G C
Where the saints and the sinners have passed
G C
With the dead satellites and the trash
G D/F# Em D/F# A
In my spacesuit hoping that this woman will call me at last
E D A G C A7
'Cause I'm an astronaut on the shores of this grand illusion
E D A G C
And I'm falling down at the sound of this beating heart
A7 C
Yeah, this beating heart
A7 D B7,Em,D/F#, G,A
