Chords

[Intro] Bm F# G D [Verse 1]
D
They say the truth's your best defence

    F#
I'm bleeding just to pay the rent

    Bm
And broken dreams mean nothing

              G
When you need something
Just to get you through the year [Verse 2]
D
  And now we're moving out

   F#
So pack your clothes, your books, your doubt

    Bm
And bring the piece of paper

       G
That I gave you, back when you were all alone
[Pre-chorus 1]
D              F#                  Bm
   Letters sent home with no return address

                       G
I've got a bag full of old clothes

           G
I've got a bag full of stress
[Chorus 1]
Bm   G     D              Bm       G
     I'm so sorry that I'm leaving

       D
You so little to believe in
D F# Bm G [Verse 3]
                D
'Cause we had a house

                          F#
With a perfect door and a front room
With the right decor
      Bm
And I came and wrecked it all

       G
Yes, I came and wrecked it all like I always do
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D                               F#
    'Cause I didn't think and I poured your life down the kitchen sink

         Bm
With the dregs of yesterday

        G
And now I'm going to be late
[Chorus 2]
    Bm
I'm sorry

C     G             Em          C
I'm so sorry that I'm leaving

       G
You so little to believe in

Em               C                G
    Just tell me, that you're free, of your woes and of me

Em   C           G
          There's weather more reliable than me
[Bridge]
D                                  A
   I'm calling base command as the last bit of oxygen runs out but

Bm
They're down there softly sleeping

    G
The sun sets over the Pacific region

D
  I'm sitting here hanging in the balance

A
Just barely in the atmosphere

Bm
I'm sitting here hanging in the balance

D
Just barely in the atmosphere
[Chorus 2]
Bm   G     D              Bm       G
     I'm so sorry that I'm leaving

       D
You so little to believe in

Bm               G                D
    Just tell me, that you're free, of your woes and of me

Bm   G           D
          There's weather more reliable than me
[Outro]
Bm     G        D
    As lonely as Laika
Up there all alone
Bm             G
  You miss the atmosphere

    D
The stars are now your home
