F  (A)                  C (E)
My mom laid me on a blanket
Am (C#m)                    G (B)
wiped the dust right off my face
F                                  C
asked the nurse is he gonna make it?
Am                               G
I was cold and I was scared and naked
F                                   C
She carried me until I broke her back
Am                                  G
I took her shoes and lowered my hat
Am                                  G
to block the light of a single moon

Chorus:
C   (E)       B/C  (B)      Am (C#m)
I count the stars and wonder how I 
F  (A)
ever fell this far. My
C/E     B/C    Am                F
cigarette sparkles to the ground. 

I burn another down.

F                                 C
I saddle broke a wild scapegoat and
Am                           G
hid the shoes I stole
F                                      C
when the winter nights turned cold
Am                                     G
them shoes would have warmed my toes


F                                        C
made it down to Tennessee where I
Am                                       G
found some friends to carry me
Am                                       G
I hear their backbones creak

Chorus:
C   (E)       B/C  (B)      Am (C#m)
I count the stars and wonder how I 
F  (A)
ever fell this far. My
C/E     B/C    Am                F
cigarette sparkles to the ground. 

I burn another down.

(verse chords):
F                      C
Im a grounded astronaut
Am                     G
this rock is not my home
F                      C
I can take this earth suit off
Am                     G
peel the fabric past my bones
(2x)

Am                                  G
This is not this is not my home
Am                                  G
This is not this is not my home
Am                                  G
This is not this is not my home..
Am                                  G
This is not this is not my home
Am                     G                     Am               G                 Am   G
This is not this is not this is not this is not this not this is not my home
Am                             G                Am                                  C
This is not this is not this is not my home and I count (Chorus)

Chorus:
C   (E)       B/C  (B)      Am (C#m)
I count the stars and wonder how I 
F  (A)
ever fell this far. My
C/E     B/C    Am                F
cigarette sparkles to the ground.
