[Intro]

Ah (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

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
