Key: A5

Verse 1:
A5                    E5     D5  
 I'm alone above the atmosphere
                           A5       E5
And no one looking up can find me here
                     F#5                D5
Cause I can close my eyes, and disappear
A5                           E5          D5 
 When I climb the stairs to watch the sun
                         A5         E5
Above station walls, the colors run
                      F#5               D5
To fill the swimming pool when I am done   
E5                       F#5        A5             D5           E5               
 I am the captain of an oil tanker that travels through your veins


Verse 2:
A5                         E5     D5
 When the satellites hang all around
                           A5        E5
And I can finally hear the lovely sound
                            F#5              D5
When all the engines in the backroom die down
A5                       E5          D5                   
 All the airships move across the sky
                            A5        E5
And my equipment just keeps standing by
            F#5                D5
The planets glow and intensify
E5                    F#5           A5             D5            E5 
 I am the pilot of a cargo airplane that travels through your veins


Chorus 1:
B5                         A5                 E5
  When you are lying half asleep in your room
B5                    A5                 E5
  Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
B5                          A5                  E5
  Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
B5                             A5                  E5
  It could be raining but then you can never tell
B5                        A5             E5
  If you're alone in this awful downpour
B5                              A5                  E5
  Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door


Verse 3 (as verses 1 & 2)
In the evening light the boulevard
Conceals the night with disregard
For all the workers in a west coast ship yard
When I rearrange the silverware
And re-install the lights and captian's chair
I'll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air

I am the engineer of forty freight trains that travels through your veins


Chorus 2:
B5                         A5                 E5
  When you are lying half asleep in your room
B5                    A5                 E5
  Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
B5                          A5                  E5
  Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
B5                             A5                  E5
  It could be raining but then you can never tell
B5                        A5             E5
  If you're awake in this awful downpour
B5                              A5                  E5
  Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door
B5                           A5           E5  F#5
  When you are swimming in Miami at night
B5                           A5                      E5
  And all around you are the traffic and city lights
