[Verse 1]
G Em
We broke in where
G Em
We’re not allowed
C Em
And found a station
Am D
From a dead undergound
Em G Em
And there you kissed me
G Em
As if goodbye
C Em
On the dusty platform
Am D Em
Like my train had arrived
[Pre-Chorus]
B Cdim C Em
Oh we hold with the grip of a sifter
B Cdim C Em
And we smile with the teeth of a comb
B Cdim C Em
We can fake what we want to belong
B Cdim C
But if we don’t show our faces
Em B
We can’t be wrong
[Chorus]
Em G6 D
Hands in the air, listen to me
C Em Am
This is a stickup at the observatory
Em G6 D
We’re gonna look at just what we wanna see
C Em Am
This is a stickup at the observatory
Em G6 D
The blue beneath your skin is like
C Em Am
An atlas of the sky
Em G6 D
I want to read your book but I
C Em Am
Don’t want to break the spine
G6 Em G Em
[Verse 2]
G Em G
We left the concert on skid row
Em C
And looked up at the building face
Em Am D Em
Office workers in the sky constellate
G Em G
In our ordinary moons
Em C
We can’t see the part we play
Em Am D Em
All the windows in the sky constellate
[Pre-Chorus]
B Cdim C Em
Oh we know we’re living in a tumour
B Cdim C Em
Or we know we’re living in a coral reef
B Cdim C Em
Who can say what’s the way to believe
B Cdim C
But sleep beside a window
Em B
And you hear it breathe
[Chorus]
Em G6 D
Hands in the air, listen to me
C Em Am
This is a stickup at the observatory
Em G6 D
We’re gonna look at just what we wanna see
C Em Am
This is a stickup at the observatory
Em G6 D
The blue beneath your skin is like
C Em Am
An atlas of the sky
Em G6 D
I want to read your book but I
C Em Am
Don’t want to break the spine
Em G6 D
The blue beneath your skin is like
C Em Am
An atlas of the sky
Em G6 D
I want to read your book but I
C Em Am
Don’t want to break the spine
[Outro]
Em G6 D C Em Am
