Intro: C G C Dm 

C                             G 
at dusk, the stars feel awkward. 
Dm                         F 
they're so hesitant to shine. 
C                      G 
and late at night when we're all tired and sleeping, 
Bb                                      F 
they light the world that we leave behind. 

C                                 G 
and lately i've been chasing comets 
Bb                 F 
in a spaceship on TV. 
C                         G 
while you go out at night you get piss drunk and comment 
Bb                       F 
on how much you mean to me. 

Dm              Em            Am 
and there's something i wanna tell you, 
Dm          Em           Am 
but it's so difficult to say. 
Dm               Em                     C       G       Am 
'cause baby, the words sound like we're talking underwater 
F                                  G  
when you're so, when you're so far away. 

C                          G 
well, if i only had a gutter 
Dm                             F 
well, i could catch it when it falls. 
C                        G 
but my basement's slowly filling up with water. 
Bb                             F 
it's running down the concrete walls. 
C                                    G 
and you could say it's been a bad year 
Bb                            F 
and you'd be saying something true. 
C                                                     G 
well it's almost like, it's almost like a cheap print of a picasso painting, 
Bb                       F 
one with seven shades of blue. 

Dm            Em              Am 
and i've been dreaming of the city 
Dm            Em          Am 
what a wonderful place to be. 
Dm        Em       C  G   Am 
i've been dreaming of the city 
F                                       G 
but the city, the city doesn't dream of me. 
Bb                                     A  
yeah the city, the city's gonna let me be. 

Dm                F

        C                                 Bb

Dm                F

        C                                        Bb

F                       Am            Gm
