Bm C D
G Bm
All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
C D
Before the so-called life got in the way
G Bm
Eight miles high I turn the light switch on
C D
And laugh at all the games I used to play
Em
But I had a dream when I was seven
B
Secret door at the back of heaven
G A
I woke up the second I walked in
C D
And over time the dream got old and faded
C D
And everything just gets so complicated
G Bm
I watched them send the rocket up in Florida
C D
And everybody cheered and waved goodbye
G Bm
I imagined it was me up in the captains chair
C D
Leaving laws of gravity behind
Em
Now the weight is heavy on my shoulders
B
Nine to five I'm getting older
G A
Truth be told it really ain't that bad
C D
And over time the dream got old and faded
C D
And everything just gets so complicated
G Bm C D G Bm C D
G Bm
Well all I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
C D
I guess it's a little late for that right now
G Bm
And I get up every morning just to punch the clock
C D
And take the number bus 'cross town
Em
Well I try my best not to regret it
B
Most of the time I just forget it
G A
Maybe another place some other time
C D
Cause after all the dream got old and faded
C D
And everything just gets so complicated
G Bm C D G
But all I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
