C                             G
at dusk, the stars feel awkward.
Dm                         F
they're so hesitant to shine.
C                      G
and late at night when we're all tired and sleeping,
Bb                                      F
they light the world that we leave behind.

C                                 G
and lately i've been chasing comets
Bb                 F
in a spaceship on TV.
C                         G
while you go out at night you get piss drunk and comment
Bb                       F
on how much you mean to me.

Dm              Em            Am
and there's something i wanna tell you,
Dm          Em           Am
but it's so difficult to say.
Dm               Em                     C       G       Am
'cause baby, the words sound like we're talking underwater
F                                  G 
when you're so, when you're so far away.

C                          G
well, if i only had a gutter
Dm                             F
well, i could catch it when it falls.
C                        G
but my basement's slowly filling up with water.
Bb                             F
it's running down the concrete walls.
C                                    G
and you could say it's been a bad year
Bb                            F
and you'd be saying something true.
C                                                     G
well it's almost like, it's almost like a cheap print of a picasso painting,
Bb                       F
one with seven shades of blue.

Dm            Em              Am

i've been dreaming of the city
F                                       G
but the city, the city doesn't dream of me.
Bb                                     A 
yeah the city, the city's gonna let me be.
