Capo on the 6th fret  

C                        C 
Come in close now, it's time to tell a story 
C                C 
Long ago and so many years before we 
Dm               Dm 
Ever were, ever dreamed we even could be 
Em        G            G     
There was her and her very first heartbeat 
C                  C 
All alone in the corner of the night sky 
C                  C 
Spiral bones of a supernova starlight 
Dm                 Dm 
Fell in love with another burning bright 
     Em      G  
She dreamed of a way to ignite 

           C          C                   Dm 
She said, "Tonight, come on, come on, collide 
                    G 
Break me to pieces, I, I think you're just like heaven 
 C    C                    Dm 
Why, come on, come on,  collide 
      Dm                     G 
Let's see what a fire feels like 
            G 
I bet it's just like heaven" 
C 
(Just like heaven) 
C 
(Just like heaven) 

C                      C 
Such a shame, nowhere near, even a near miss 
C                          C 
Light years away from the hope of being sun-kissed 
Dm                    Dm 
Anchored home in her interstellar sea 
      Em   G 
But, poor lonely Cassiopeia 
C                     C 
So she sighs and she burns with desperation 
C                   C 
Learns to cry over love of constellations 
Dm                     Dm 
Then the spark from a star shooting too close 
      Em    G 
They both smiled, what a day to explode 
           C          C                   Dm 
She said, "Tonight, come on, come on, collide 
                    G 
Break me to pieces, I, I think you're just like heaven 
 C    C                    Dm 
Why, come on, come on,  collide 
      Dm                     G 
Let's see what a fire feels like 
            G 
I bet it's just like heaven" 
C 
(Just like heaven) 
C 
(Just like heaven) 

C              C 
Long ago in a sky built before us 
   C             C 
A supernova grew up to be stardust
