[Chorus]
Em                     G          Em                G
We're out looking for astronauts, looking for astronauts

Em                     G          Em                G
We're out looking for astronauts, looking for astronauts

              Em
It's a little too late, too late, too late for this

G
Isn't it a little too late for this?

Em
Little too late, too late for this

G
Isn't it a little too late for this?

Em   G           Am            G
You know you have a permanent piece

Am           G              D
Of my medium-sized American heart
[Chorus]
Em                    G           Em             G
We're out looking for astronauts, looking for astronauts

Em                    G            Em            G
We're out looking for astronauts, looking for astronauts

       Em    G
Are we gone

        Em                  G
Come on yeah, we know we're gone

G       Em
Bye bye bye

G       Em                 G
Bye bye bye, we know we're gone
[Verse 1]
Em            G                     Am
Take all your reasons and take them away

                 G                        Am
To the middle of nowhere, and on your way home

                G                  D
Throw from your window your record collection

Em                        G
They all run together and never make sense

    Am                         G
But that's how we like it, and that's all we want

Am                   G                 D
Something to cry for, and something to hunt
[Chorus]
       Em    G
Are we gone

        Em                  G
Come on yeah, we know we're gone

G       Em
Bye bye bye

G       Em                 G
Bye bye bye, we know we're gone

Em                     G          Em             G
We're out looking for astronauts, looking for astronauts

Em                     G           Em            G
We're out looking for astronauts, looking for astronauts

              Em
It's a little too late, too late, too late for this

G
Isn't it a little too late for this?

Em
Little too late, too late for this

G
Isn't it a little too late for this?
[Verse 2]
Em   G           Am            G
You know you have a permanent piece

Am           G              D
Of my medium-sized American heart

   Em             G
So don't wear the watch

Am                       G
When you're out with the cunts

Am                     G                          D
You can break what you have, but the rest of it's mine
[Verse 3]
Em            G                     Am
Take all your reasons and take them away

                 G                        Am
To the middle of nowhere, and on your way home

                G                  D
Throw from your window your record collection

Em                        G
They all run together and never make sense

    Am                         G
But that's how we like it, and that's all we want

Am                   G                 D    Em
Something to cry for, and something to hunt
