Music & Lyrics by Peter Buck, Mike Mills & Michael Stipe From the album Man on the Moon (Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack) (1999) [Intro] Am7 Dsus2 Am7 Dsus2 [Verse 1]
Am7              Dsus2              Am7         Dsus2
I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes

Am7                 Dsus2       Am7    Dsus2
All the sights that I have seen

Am7        Dsus2          Am7
I can't believe that I believed

              Dsus2
I wished that you could see

 Am7                        Dsus2
There's a new planet in the solar system

 Am7             Dsus2
There is nothing up my sleeve
[Hook]
 C   G/B         Am
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs

 C   G/B         Am
I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there

 C        G/B       Am
Over my shoulder a piano falls

   G
Crashing to the ground
[Verse 2]
Am7         Dsus2         Am7           Dsus2
In all this talk of time, talk is fine

    Am7             Dsus2         Am7  Dsus2
But I don't want to stay around

Am7           Dsus2
Why can't we pantomime

      Am7               Dsus2
Just close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams

Am7             Dsus2             Am7 Dsus2
Me and you have wings on our feet
[Hook]
 C   G/B         Am
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs

 C   G/B         Am
I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there

 C        G/B       Am
Over my shoulder a piano falls

   G
Crashing to the ground
[Chorus]
Am     C       G           Dsus2   Am
I'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons

      C       G              Am
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom

      C           G               D     C
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
[Interlude] Am7 Dsus2 Am7 Dsus2 [Verse 3]
             Am7               Dsus2
I want the humming birds, the dancing bears

  Am7              Dsus2
Sweetest dreams of you

  Am7           Dsus2
I look into the stars

  Am7           Dsus2
I look into the moon
[Hook]
 C   G/B         Am
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs

 C   G/B         Am
I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there

 C        G/B       Am
Over my shoulder a piano falls

   G
Crashing to the ground
[Outro]
Am     C       G           Dsus2   Am
I'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons

      C       G              Am
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom

      C           G               D     C
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

Am     C       G           Dsus2   Am
I'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons
