Satellites

 
    D/F# 
Your dog just bit me, but I know he didn't mean it 
  A/E 
Why does every good intention tend to need me to believe it? 
    D/F# 
You called and lit me up, then told me to stay seated 
  A/E 
Always asking me our ending, interrupting to complete it 
 

 
      Em 
And 'cause you tell yourself this story more than half the time 
       Bm 
You've got the rest of us in orbit like your satellites 
      C/G 
And while I'm churning at a rate that turns the years to light 
  Bm* 
You aren't watching as I bandage up another bit 
      Em 
And I make such a deal of using words syllabically 
       Bm 
So you're too busy sounding out to shuffl after me 
      C/G 
There's nothing you like less than knowing someone's past your grip 
 

 
  Bm* 
You put me into space, then hate me when I ask for it 
  Bm* 
You put me into space, then hate me when I ask for it 
 

 
    D/F# 
You make a living sweeping floors and speaking softly 
  A/E 
All the while your spiral galaxy is rising 'til it's Godly 
    D/F# 
Metamorphosing from a person to a beacon 
  A/E 
You are standing, diagnosingm, I'm just waiting to repeat it 
 

 
      Em 
And 'cause you tell yourself this story more than half the time 
       Bm 
You've got the rest of us in orbit like your satellites 
      C/G 
And while I'm churning at a rate that turns the years to light 
  Bm* 
You aren't watching as I bandage up another bit 
      Em 
And I make such a deal of using words syllabically 
       Bm 
So you're too busy sounding out to shuffl after me 
      C/G 
There's nothing you like less than knowing someone's past your grip 
 

 
  Bm* 
You put me into space, then hate me when I ask for it 
  Bm*
