   Em          A
Oh I can’t get over this moon

    Em7           A
And all creatures under the sun

Am                 D         G     G/F# Em  E
Move through their days in a state of oblivion
[Chorus]
                    Am7      D
Stars don’t owe you anything

                             Am      D
Don’t give a damn about your nations

                           Am    D
Or feel the slightest obligation
[Post-Chorus]
(D)
  I mean, listen

G                 G/F#   Am7                  D7
  What if the world goes spinning off its axis?

G                  G/F#          Am7              D7 | D7 |
  And what if the moon begins to wane before it waxes?
[Instrumental Break] | Em7 | A | Em7 | A | Am7 | D | | G G/F# F | E | E (2 Beats) | | Am7 | D | Am7 | D | Am7 | D | [Bridge 1]
Gm                    F#
  Wrapped in darkness, you take my hand

A#                        C
  Through all the chambers of the underland

D#                       A#
  Like this penny on the railroad track

A                                 D              D7
  If you go too far, you know you can't go back
[Verse]
    Em7        A
Oh, I've never been here before

Em7           A
  Deep inside earth's molten core

Am7         D              G   G/F# Em E
No need for clothes or for eyes to see

   E7              Am7          D
So find yourself a pair of ears

                       Am7        D
Gonna be down here for many years

                         Am7                   D
Just listen out for that subterranean river of tears

G                   G/F#
  Well, not exactly hell

Am7            D7
More like a nocturnal paradise

G                  G/F#
Not exactly heaven either

     Am7      D7           D7
I’d say 'bout half as nice
[Bridge 2]
Gm                    F#
  We're at the end now, you've run aground

A#                                 C
  And all the sound waves have gone underground

Cm                                A#
  There's a threshold between the here and hereafter

A                                     D             D7
  To cross a river, you know you gotta take a raft.. there
[Instrumental Break] | Em7 | A | Em7 | A | Am7 | D | | G G/F# | Em E | E | N.C. | [Chorus]
                    Am7      D
Stars don’t owe you anything

                             Am      D
Don’t give a damn about your nations

                           Am    D
Or feel the slightest obligation
[Outro]
Am   D    Am          D              Am   D
Ooo---oh, I can’t get over this moon now

     Am          D              Am
Ooh, I can’t get over this moo--oon

| D E | Am | D | Am | D | Am | D | Am | D E |
     Oooooh,   Oo--ooahh  badadap, badada..
| Am | D | Am | D | | Am | D | Am | D | | Am | D | Am |
