Astronaut

If [Am7]I had eaten up [F]

all the [G]curry you made tonight

Would you have [Am7]been happy enough [F]

to give me a [G]smile?

But you [Am7]said with a [F]sigh,

looking at [G]me in the eye

“Just don't [Am7]even bother

with it [F]next time”

I think [G]that you were right [A#6]

 

[C/E] [F] [G] [Am7]

[C/E] [F] [G] [Am7]

[C/E] [F] [A#]

 

If I [C/E]were someone [F]brave,

just [G]imagine what I could do [Am7]

I could hit [C/E]back and defend [F]myself,

and [G]maybe even [Am7]you

There’s a [C/E]chance, a tiny [F]chance,

that [G]you just might smile [Am7]again

Cause that’s [C/E]all that really

ever [F]mattered to me [G]in the [Am7]end

 

If I [C/E]lived all [F]alone,

you wouldn't [G]have to deal with [Am7]me

And you would [C/E]be

free of the [F]troubles that I have

to [G]deal with constantly [Am7]

But [C/E]then, but maybe [F]then, I

would [G]spend my days [Am7]alone

Living like [C/E]that

and never [F]knowing of you,

I'd [G]be all on my [Am7]own

 

If I [C/E]lied all the [F]time, would

you [G]know truth from [Am7]lie?

You would [C/E]scold me [F]regardless,

even [G]if you weren't right [Am7]

It's [C/E]on, on days like [F]this I

start to [G]wonder just what [Am7]if…?

Here [C/E]alone, in my [F]room where I

can't shake [G]off my loneliness [Am7]

 

The days [A#]so full of [Am7]emptiness

They [A#]start to crack from [Am7]nothingness

The [A#]what's and [C]ifs are [C#dim]leaking out

Esc [A#]aping [C]even now, they [C#dim]just won't stop [D#]

 

But [C/E]now I’ll [F]start to [G]close my [Am7]eyes

Block my [C/E]ears from all this [F]noise,

looking [G]back just one last [Am7]time

I [C/E]can't hear your [F]voice

and I [G]can't see your [Am7]smile

But [C/E]somehow I get the [F]feeling

that in the [G]end I'll be [Am7]alright

 

I [A#]wish that I could [Am7]just erase

The [A#]memories that I've [Am7]come to hate

And [A#]only [C]leave the [C/C#]good behind [Dm]

I [A#]don't think [C]I would mind [Dm] [D#]

 

If I [C/E]did all the [F]things

I [G]said that I would [G]do

Would you [C/E]then

 

beli [F]eve me if

I [G]said that we were [Am7]through?

Someh [C/E]ow, I know for [F]sure

you'd f [G]inally start to [Am7]smile

After [C/E]all, when it [F]comes to

you, I’m the [G]expert aren’t [Am7]I?

 

Believe [C/E]me when I [F]say,

I [G]tried to [Am7]everyday

But my [C/E]words wouldn’t [F]reach you.

Hey [G]isn’t that [Am7]strange?

I just [C/E]wish I could [F]see you,

but my [G]legs can't seem to [Am7]move

It’s as [C/E]if they say, “You [F]deserve it”,

I [G]guess that it’s [Am7]true

 

If [Cm]I were still [Gm]alive,

I’d [G#]sing just [D#]one last time

A [Cm]song I never [Gm]sang for

you, but [G#]now I have to [D#]try

It's [Cm]just a bit emb [Gm]arrassing,

but you [G#]need to hear it [D#]through

It would be [Cm]nice if you could

l [Gm]isten to this [G#]song I made for [D#]you

 

It would be [Cm]nice if [Gm]this song

could [G#]one day [D#]reach you

 

But [C#m]now I’ll [G#m]start to [A]close my [E]eyes

Block my [C#m]ears from all this [G#m]noise,

looking [A]back just one last [E]time

I [C#m]can't hear your [G#m]voice

and [A]I can't see your [E]smile

But [C#m]somehow I get the [G#m]feeling

that in the [A]end I'll be [E]alright

 

So [C#m]now [G#m]I start to [A]close my [E]eyes

Block my [C#m]ears from all this [G#m]noise,

never look [A]ing back this [E]time

I [C#m]can't hear your [G#m]voice

and I [A]can't see your [E]smile

But [C#m]somehow I get the [G#m]feeling

 

that in the [A]end I'll be [E]alright
