• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: G



Verse 1:
G
 When you point at the sky
D/F#                     C
 What you hit will be far away
 D
Funny that
G
 With the naked eye
D/F#                     C
 You might look at a star and say
           D           Em         D
It's like somebody's playing with us
               Am          D
It's borderline suspicious

Chorus:
      G
As if, the hum of the heavens above
D                            C
 Murmurs from the afterglow
Am            F                      C
 Will not be mysteries for all tomorrows
     G
As if I'll empty out a lake with a spoon
D                                C
 Buy a plot of land on the moon
Am             F
 Where we can hide away
                 C
And tend our sorrows


Verse 2:
G
 Will you look at the time?
D/F#
 I don't know what
    C
Got over me
 D
Yes
I do
G
 Hope you don't mind
D/F#
 I'll be off
      C
Momentarily
     D        Em
For me to intrude
         D
In this way
         Am
Highly unusual
         D
You might say


Chorus:
      G                                 D
As if, like a shirt worn thin thru the years
                                C
I'll let you down the moment I tear
Am        F
 I can assure you
                       D
That won't happen ever
      G                                  D
As if, you're standing on the edgeof a cliff
                             C
Unaware your footing might slip
Am            F                         C
 I won't be there to push you back forever

     G
As if I'll empty out a lake with a spoon
D                                C
 Buy a plot of land on the moon
Am             F
 Where we can hide away

And tend our sorrows
