EA
Now if you're gonna play your games with me
AA/GED
Like a leaf in the the top of the tree
AED
You better watch your step when you're coming back down
GC
From the city on out to the sea
Verse 2:
EA
And if your brothers come after me
AA/GED
With their horses so wild and so free
AED
I'll be waiting at the gate in a terrible state
GC
With the man who holds the key
GC
And he'll treat you quite carelessly
Prechorus:
AED
For he knows my face from a previous place
GC
From a country in a foreign land
GCG/B
Throwing dice in a game of chance on the sand
AED
But I lost my cool, and fate loves a fool
GC
Now I'm standing on the edge of the past
GD/F#EmDAC
In my spacesuit hoping that this woman will call me at last
Chorus:
EDAGCA7
'Cause I'm an astronaut on the shores of this grand illusion
EDAGC
And I'm falling down at the sound of this beating heart
A7C
Yeah, this beating heart
A7DB7,Em,D/F#, G,A
Yeah, this beating heart
Bridge:
E,D,AA,G,EEDA
Your friends all tell you that you gotta make a change
AGE
Gotta make this break in so many kind of ways
EDA
The sky to the trees, from the trees to the earth'
AGE
From the earth to your grave, from the grave to your birth
EDA
Your heart's been heavy with the silver and the gold
AGE
But the gold ain't yours 'cause his heart's been sold
CD
For to pay your lover's way
GG/F#A7
And the ship it sails today E
EDA
Oh my, my now we're rollin' by and by

Got my children to light the way

EA
So if you're gonna play your games with me
AA/GE
Better use some real trickery
AED
You better get smart 'cause that lock on your heart
GC
It ain't as heavy as it used to be
GC
In a land without no gravity
AED
In this windless place, on the edge of space
GC
Where the saints and the sinners have passed
GC
With the dead satellites and the trash
GD/F#EmD/F#A
In my spacesuit hoping that this woman will call me at last
EDAGCA7
'Cause I'm an astronaut on the shores of this grand illusion
EDAGC
And I'm falling down at the sound of this beating heart
A7C
Yeah, this beating heart
A7DB7,Em,D/F#, G,A
Yeah, this beating heart
