Capo on Fret 6 --------------
GMaj7#11                 GMaj7#11
I was just an acrobat, high above the street

GMaj7#11                           Em             C
Pointing at the ground the empty sky beneath my feet

            Am      Dsus2                         
The perfect fall, no one could tell at all

      Am             Dsus2                          GMaj7#11(x2) 
That it was killing me

 GMaj7#11                      GMaj7#11 
You were just an astronaut, floating on a spark

 GMaj7#11                     Em               C 
Tearing up the atmosphere, burning down the dark

             Am     Dsus2              Am  
As you fell in, the heat against your skin

         Dsus2                                      GMaj7#11(x2) 
Till it got too bright to see

 Cm     G    Eb                   Bb        C  
Far away, I hear the things they say about me

 Cm   G           Eb              Bb         (Eb)     GMaj7#11(x2) 
Even though they know you had to go without me

 GMaj7#11                    GMaj7#11     
Now you are an architect, setting up the sea

 GMaj7#11                          Em              C 
Everyone is with you and you're all waiting for me

               Am           Dsus2          Am 
You check the net, but you haven't caught me yet

         Dsus2                                      GMaj7#11(x2) 
They're not quite done with me

 GMaj7#11                GMaj7#11    
Now I am an arsonist, seven miles high

 GMaj7#11                             Em             C 
Burning through the air I breathe, thunder in the sky

           Am          Dsus2              Am 
My engine sings as it melts this pair of wings
Dsus2 GMaj7#11x(2) That only I can see
 Cm        G        Eb            Bb            (Eb) 
Touch the sun, my eyes wide open unbelieving

 Cm      G            Eb            Bb        (Eb)  GMaj7#11 x(2)     
Catch a breath, the only one who's left is leaving

 GMaj7#11  
Now I am an arsonist.
