Intro 1

(D minor)
Verse 1
I was (A minor) reading
about the astronauts.
They were (D minor) weightless out
in space.
Like floating (G major) flecks of dust,
they soared (A minor) and swirled.
But when they got back home,
they had to teach their (D minor) legs to walk again, crippled (G major) by the
gravity of the world
(A minor) And for no (B minor) reason that I know of,
(Bdim) I thought
I've about (E major) lies, (A minor) I've thought about lies. (D major)
The lies (A minor) that protect our money,
the lies (D minor) that guard our pride,
the (G major) lies that keep our trigger
fingers curled. (A minor)
The necessary lies that keep our
(D minor) loved ones safe from pain,
Keep us (G major) tethered to the
gravity of the world (A minor)
I (B minor) can still remember the
(Bdim) lightness that I (E major) knew
How joy (A minor) ously this heart of mine
Pro (D major) tected what I knew (B minor) (D major) was
true (G major) (D major) (A minor) (D minor)
(A minor) (D minor)
They say (A minor) every baby born is like
a brand (D minor) new empty bottle
And that (G major) coffins close those
bottles when they fill (A minor)
And the only thing that matters is the
(D minor) sub stance we've contained
And the (G major) precious drops of
truth we don't let (A minor) spill
And I can (B minor) 't call back the moment
when the world (Bdim) came breaking through
(E major) The (A minor) carelessness and compromise,
the (D major) things I thought I had to do (G major) (D major) (G major) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor) (D minor)
The lies (A minor) that protect our money,
the (D minor) lies that guard our pride,
The lies (G major) that keep our trigger
fingers curled (A minor) (D minor) (A minor)
The (D minor) (A minor) ne cessary lies that keep our
loved (D minor) ones safe from pain
Keep us (G major) tethered to the
gravity of the (A minor) world (C major)
