As recorded by Blitzen Trapper feat. Eric D. Johnson (From the 2024 Album 100'S Of 1000'S, MILLIONS OF BILLIONS) [Intro] G Em Am D [Verse 1]
          G                            Am
I've been living like a ghost inside myself upon a shelf

     Bm                Dm                 C
On a distant planet, a crooked house that never sleeps

         G                            Am
And this river that unwinds within my spine records the time

  Bm               Dm            C
A thousand ripples racing from a pebble's fall
[Verse 2]
        G                        Am
While a lone coyote walks upon a highway running south

         Bm         Dm              C
Drifting up into my mouth, a silent hemisphere

           G                         Am
And in the quiet of my mind I find a stairway leading up

     Bm                Dm             C                    Am          G
With amber lights that flicker like a sleeping storm whose form will remain
[Interlude] Em Am G Em Am D [Chorus]
        G                                         C          Am
And I'm lost up forty flights of stairs with everyone in the world who cares

Bm              Dm            C
Searching for a sign upon the galaxy

       G                           C           Am
See me sitting with the one I love in the planetarium

Bm                Dm              C               Am           G
Silent, still and spacious as the axis turns, you learn to let go
[Interlude] G Em Am D [Verse 3]
          G                                 Am
I've been drifting like a ghost through the memories I love most

       Bm              Dm                 C
Like a grifter trading tarnished coin for future days

         G                             Am
But with each death I'm reborn only to fall upon the thorn

    Bm                Dm            C             Am              G
And join the dance of light and energy that never fades or falls away
[Interlude] G Em Am D [Chorus]
        G                                    C               Am
And I'm lost up forty flights of stairs with everyone in the world who cares

Bm              Dm            C
Searching for a sign upon the galaxy

       G                           C           Am
See me sitting with the one I love in the planetarium

Bm                Dm              C               Am           G
Silent, still and spacious as the axis turns, you learn to let go
[Outro] G Am D Em Am D
