[Intro]
Em | Am | Em | Am |
[Verse 1]
E A
She was married to somebody else
E A
I was lonely and lived by myself
Am D F#m B
Maybe that's just a fight that you can't win
E A
So we met and we started the clock
E A
Did that help? No it did not
Am D F#m B
I suppose I knew that going in
F#m B C
And now watch as the broken hearts begin
[Chorus]
F C F
But at least we were calm on the road to the big observatory
E A E A
Where the planets were hung and the stars swung around
Am G#m
The second story and we stumbled upon
D# C
A room where a luminous moon was waning
G Cm F# B
And I knew I was gone but at least we were calm
[Link]
Em | A | Em | A
[Verse 2]
Em A
Fun is fun but when push comes to shove
Em A
When it's done we deny it was love
Am D F#m B
And we say: "What were we thinking of?"
Em A
And the room where we looked at the sky
E A
Will be there with its telescope eye
Am D F#m B
Now I won't get to meet all your friends
F#m B C
As we go down the street of dead ends
[Chorus]
G C F
But at least we were calm on the road to the big observatory
E A E A
Where the planets were hung and the stars swung around
Am G#m
The second story and we stumbled upon
D# Cm
A room where a luminous moon was waning
G Cm F#m B
And I knew I was gone but at least we were calm
[Link]
Em Bm | A | Em Bm | A |
[Outro]
E A D
She was married to somebody else
A
I was lonely and lived by myself
E Bm F#m
Maybe that's a battle you can't win
