Capo 3
Verse 1:
Now if you're [E]gonna play your games with[A] me
Like a [A]leaf in the the [A/G]top of the [E]tree[D]
You [A]better watch your step when you're [E]coming back [D]down
From the [G]city on out to the [C]sea
Verse 2:
And if your [E]brothers come after [A]me
With their [A]horses so [A/G]wild and so [E]free[D]
I'll be [A]waiting at the gate in a [E]terrible [D]state
With the [G]man who holds the [C]key
And he'll [G]treat you quite [C]carelessly
Prechorus:
For he [A]knows my face from a [E]previous [D]place
From a [G]country in a foreign [C]land
Throwing [G]dice in a game of [C]chance on the [G/B]sand
But I [A]lost my cool, and [E]fate loves a [D]fool
Now I'm [G]standing on the edge of the [C]past
In my [G]spacesuit [D/F#]hoping that this [Em]woman will [D]call me at [A]last[C]
Chorus:
'Cause I'm an [E]astro[D]naut on the [A]shores of this [G]grand [C]illusion [A7]
And I'm [E]falling [D]down at the [A]sound of this [G]beating [C]heart
Ye[A7]ah, this beating [C]heart
A7 D B7,Em,D/F#, G,A
Yeah, this beating heart
Bridge:

Your [E]friends all tell you that you [D]gotta make a [A]change
Gotta [A]make this break in so [G]many kind of [E]ways
The [E]sky to the trees, from the [D]trees to the [A]earth'
From the [A]earth to your grave, from the [G]grave to your [E]birth
[E]Your heart's been heavy with the [D]silver and the [A]gold
But the [A]gold ain't yours 'cause his [G]heart's been [E]sold
For to [C]pay your lover's [D]way
And the [G]ship it [G/F#]sails [A7]today E
[E]Oh my, my now we're [D]rollin' by and [A]by
Got my [A]children to [G]light the [E]way
[E]Oh my, my now we're [D]rollin' by and [A]by
Got my [A]brothers to [G]light the [E]way
[E]Oh my, my now we're [D]rollin' by and [A]by
Got my [A]sisters to [G]light the [E]way
You gotta [C]pay your lover's [D]way
And the [G]ship it [G/F#]sails [A7]today
Verse 3:
So if you're [E]gonna play your games with [A]me
Better [A]use some real [A/G]tricker[E]y
You [A]better get smart 'cause that [E]lock on your [D]heart
It ain't as [G]heavy as it used to [C]be
In a [G]land without no [C]gravity
In this [A]windless place, on the [E]edge of [D]space
Where the [G]saints and the sinners have [C]passed
With the [G]dead satellites and the [C]trash
In my [G]spacesuit [D/F#]hoping that this [Em]woman will [D/F#]call me at [A]last
'Cause I'm an [E]astro[D]naut on the [A]shores of this [G]grand [C]illusion [A7]
And I'm [E]falling [D]down at the [A]sound of this [G]beating [C]heart
