[Intro]
A F#m Dsus2 A E
[Verse 1]
A F#m Dsus2 A E
Distant solar systems and all the minor plaaaanets
A F#m Dsus2 A E
Know nothing of our satellites and Seven forty-seeeevens
A F#m Dsus2 A E
Fireworks that recreate the birth of constellaaaations
A F#m Dsus2 A E
Dying suns that laugh at shotgun powder imitaaaaations
A F#m Dsus2 A E
When I am a sailor, and the sky, a pitch-black oooooocean
A F#m Dsus2 A E
I'll look down at my bleeding heart and wish I were a Vuuuuuuulcan
[Bridge]
A Dsus2 A E
[Verse 2]
Dsus2 A E
It's Byzantine struuuuctures, churches and all
Dsus2 A E
All of our treaaaaasure of oil and gold
Dsus2 A E
All of the emmmmmmmmpires crumble in stone
Dsus2 A E
Great architeccccture gilded in chrome
[Verse 1]
A F#m Dsus2 A E
God and I, we correspond with intermittent leeeeeeetters
A F#m Dsus2 A E
I send postcards from the road, and now and then he annnnnnswers
A F#m Dsus2 A E
Echoes, northern city-states, and all the mighty kinnnnngdoms
A F#m Dsus2 A E
Head of sewing needles on an unending horiiiiiiizon
A F#m Dsus2 A E
I knew there was a scene before you ever thought to sing it
A F#m Dsus2 A E
And call yourself a bastard, and I know you like an orrrrphan
[Bridge]
A Dsus2 A E
[Verse 2]
Dsus2 A E
'Cause great men of sciiiiiience and literature
Dsus2 A E
Don't impressssss me, what can I offer?
Dsus2 A E
Because I am a chiiiiisel in your hand
Dsus2 A E
Screaming at maaaaaaarble from a microphone stand, aaaaaaand
