Be An Astronaut Tab by Declan McKenna

Daniel, do you remember?

You were in such a state

The boys that wait outside your house

Have got your number

And are not afraid to use it

They'll probably give it out

To anyone they see, including me

They'll probably make up your mind

As if you want them to

Oh, you

Those boys tell you what to do

All the time

On, and then later on

You said I could be just what I wanted

They said you're lying

Well, you were

born to be an astronaut And you'll

do that or die trying

E|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|----------------------------------| A|-3---------------5--------3p-2----| E|--------------------------------5-| 1 2 3 4

What a way to live and die

E|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|----------------------------------| A|----------------------------------| E|-5--------------------------------| 1 2 3 4

And you wonder why boys will cry

Boys will be boys, they should listen

Do as their mothers tell them

If you know what's good for you

Behave yourself for this time for me

E|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|----------------------------------| A|-5-8------------------------------| E|----------------------------------| 1 2 3 4

lay around complaining all day

Oh my, the boys that

E|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|-5--------------------------------| A|----------------------------------| E|----------------------------------| 1 2 3 4

wait are on the line

And they're not crying

On and later on,

you will tell them what went wrong

And they'll say you're lying

But you were born to be an astronaut

And you'll do that or die trying

There'd be nothing wrong with it,

oh
