VERSE:

D.....................Dsusaddmaj7......D...........................Dsusaddmaj7
so i'm hitting the town tonight, cinder blocks for feet

D..............................Dsusaddmaj7..........D......................Dsusaddmaj7
shuffling through all the gazes i know better than to meet

Bm..........D/A.................E7/G#..............................Asus.......A
finally i've found a home i finally have to leave

D...............................Dsusaddmaj7......D...............................Dsusaddmaj7
another permanent place i'd always hoped i'd make it to

D.............................Dsusaddmaj7......D.......................Dsusaddmaj7
i'm not the first of the astronauts to reach first avenue

Bm.........................D/A.................E7/G#..............................Asus.......A
a suburban flyer trying to break some city rules

CHORUS:

Bm.............................A/C#...........D
'cause i'm leaving the ground tonight

Gmaj7.............A/G
i'm over your ceiling

Bm................................A/C#........D
‘cause down in your twinkling lights

Gmaj7..........A/G
life is but a dream

.........E/G#
and though you may pretend

Asus................A
this is how it ends

...............D.........Dsusaddmaj7
gone again

...............D.........Dsusaddmaj7
gone again

VERSE:

D.........................Dsusaddmaj7......D.............................Dsusaddmaj7
so baby open your canyons up and sweep me right along

...D.......................................Dsusaddmaj7......D................................Dsusaddmaj7
won't you give me your cold embrace, i'll give you one more song

Bm..............................D/A........................E7/G#....................................Asus.......A
then you'll tell me a lie and say you'll miss me when i'm gone

CHORUS:

Bm.............................A/C#...........D
'cause i'm leaving the ground tonight

Gmaj7.............A/G
i'm over your ceiling

Bm................................A/C#........D
‘cause down in your twinkling lights

Gmaj7..........A/G
life is but a dream

.........E/G#
and though you may pretend

Asus................A
this is how it ends

i'm not the first of the astronauts to leave the place i love

NOTE - David plays this song in C with a capo on the second fret, therefore the actual chord voicings are in D.
