Lyrics [pdf]

Intro: F C G

	G	C	G
My j	ob takes me	out to the pl	anets

	C	D	G
To the f	urthermost st	ars that we kn	ow

	C	D	G/B	Em
I aw	ake into da	rkness and	pick up my	car keys

	C	Dsus4	D
And w	onder ag	ain why I g	o

	G	C	G
I l	ook at you sl	eeping bes	ide me

	C	Bm
The sh	adows flung over your f	ace

	Em	Am7
And I k	now that your heart is a w	orld yet uncharted

	F	D
The	equal of any in sp	ace

C G

I have not l ived in your l andscapes

C F G

I h ave not yet tr avelled your tr ails

C G

I've h eard what you tell of the cl iffs where you fell

F\add9 C

And the shock when your gravity f ails.

Am7 G/B

In your h eart and your mind I am tr avelling blind;

Bm F/C

Will you th row me a light from the sh ore?

C Bm Am7 G

I'll come h ome from the st ars into your open arms

F C G

And the h eart that I l ong to expl ore.

	G	C	G
There are t	imes when I th	ink that I kn	ow you,

	C	D	G
The w	oman who's b	een by my s	ide

	C	D	G/B	Em
For m	ore than a y	ear when I f	inally app	ear

	C	Dsus4	D
From this l	ong and spect	acular r	ide.

	G	C	G
Then s	omething I s	ay reaches	inward

	C	Bm
And kn	ots up your soul in a tw	ist

	Em	Am7
And I fl	ounder and sputter, my h	eart in the gutter

	F	D
And w	onder what landmark I m	issed?

CHORUS

	G	C	G
I kn	ow there are p	ilots who've m	arried

	C	D	G
Sweet w	omen with n	othing to h	ide

	C	D	G/B	Em
They l	and when they m	ust and they sh	rug off the d	ust

	C	Dsus4	D
And can't w	ait to get	back to their r	ide.

	G	C	G
I c	ome home when	ever I'm	able,

	C	Bm
You w	atch my ship down from ab	ove

	Em	Am7
And we k	iss and we shout and we	try to find out

	F	D
About wh	o is this person we l	ove?

CHORUS

	G	C	G
It's h	ard to go b	ack to the st	arways

	C	D	G
And l	eave you beh	ind like a dr	eam

	C	D	G/B	Em
If I kn	ew you more d	eeply I m	ight get more sl	eep

	C	Dsus4	D
While I'm ch	arting an	alien sc	ene.

	G	C	G
My n	ature is st	ill an expl	orer's

	C	Bm
And	I've never loved my work m	ore

	Em	Am
But with	all that I've found I still h	urry aground

	F	D
To the sh	adows and caves of old gh	osts in their graves

	C	Bm	Am	G
And the s	ecrets and sh	ocks I might f	ind in the r	ocks

	F	C	G
Of the h	eart that I l	ong to expl	ore.
