Chords

[Verse 1]
C                                    Em
Pull down the shades, let's kill the morning

F                      G
Lets kill the morning, let it die

            Am              Dm
Well, your eyes flash out a warning

                G                                   C
But they'll be another morning after afternoon and tonight
[Verse 2]
 Em                         Am
Fuck long hours sick with singing

 Em                         G
Sick with singing the same songs

        Am                     Dm
In the bars, they'll soon be drinking

G
Lets cash my check and drink along
[Verse 3]
 C                          Em
Old times, hello, hey, I've missed you

 F                        G
Old life, hey now, let me in

             Am          Dm
Because you win on every issue

  G
Now, can I kiss you?
Don't you care how long it's been? [Verse 4]
 Em                                   Am
It has been so many years, I lived my yearning

Em                          G
But in every bed, it led me through

           Am               Dm
They only blew on what was burning

       G
And it grew, the fire grew
[Verse 5]
             Am         G
And now with nothing to consume

               Am             G
It's turned on me in my glass room

           Am                  Dm
Where I'll burn, you think I'm finished

              G
Think I'm not winning
Well, go on, assume [Verse 6]
     C           G      Am        F
So, take me, I'm yours, morning starship

   C        G             Am             F
Sparkling stars line your lights as they lift off

      Am         F          Am             F           G
The loneliest street corner this clown has yet leaned against
[Verse 7]
C                  G           Am       F
I'll let all these fine faces fold into me

     C              G             Am            F
The warmth from the space lights illumines the sea

        Am          F            Am       F             G
As the laughingest mouths wetly open, but we set them sighing

                G
We'll take them flying
[Verse 8]
   C                                 Em
And we'll take this man, left almost passed out

 F                                 G
Cause we're pretty sure he needs a hand

                 Am
He says he can't stand

             Dm
And when we pick him up

 G
He asks us where this ship will land
[Verse 9]
       Em                     Am
But he knows we know it isn't coming down

Em                            G
He knows we know we'll fly so far

             Am              Dm
Till finally stars hold him in all around

                    G
Till he forgets the ground
Till he forgets the crawling way
                      Am
Real people sometimes are
[Outro]
G Am x6     
La, la, la, la, la
