[Intro]
E G#m A x2
[Verse 1]
E G#m A E
How do you talk to a star?
G#m A E
Keep your body nice and shielded from all that heat
G#m A
How do you show them who you are
E G#m A E
Without the radiation paralyzing the deepest parts of me?
G#m A E
It's funny how you spent the days
G#m A E
Being a beacon for me and my hop-scotch plays
G#m A
I got a desk drawer full of letters that I never sent you
E G#m A
'Cause you were just too far away
E C#m B
One card and a table in the corner
E C#m B
White boots and a tongue that's feeling extra dry
E C#m B
Then we eclipse, my mind is heavy, gravel in my alveoli
E C#m B
I wish I could take in your warmth but I go
E
[Chorus]
G#m A E G#m A
Co---ld, co---ld
E G#m A x2
[Verse 2]
E G#m A E
There's something caught in your teeth
G#m A
A smile bigger than Andromeda
E G#m A
Unexplored potential beckons me
E G#m A
Into a Hans Zimmer aria
E G#m A
But the thermosphere is burning up
E G#m A
And I've a penchant for cowardice
E G#m A
Ruddy cheeks as I look up
E G#m A
At the estate in my head that you founded, and I go
E
[Chorus]
G#m A E G#m A
Co---ld, co---ld
[Bridge]
C#m E B A
And everybody has a purpose in someone else's life
C#m E B A
And you have given me more than I know what to do wit
C#m E B A
I never paid for the baseball bat, the bowling alley at midnight, cheap beer on tap
C#m E
And you are a lithograph, sketching my history
B A
Under the floodlights you look more like God to me
C#m E B A
Or I could forget the way to talk, three shots of tequila, the speed you're walking
[Outro]
C#m E A B
And I guess what I'm trying to say here is thank you
N.C.
But I go
E G#m A
Co---ld
E G#m A
