A (x02220@1)                  E (022100@1)   D (xx0232@1)
 I'm alone above the atmosphere
                           A (x02220@1)     EAnd (022100@1)no one looking up can find me here
                     F#m (244222@1)              DCause (xx0232@1)I can close my eyes, and disappear

                         A (x02220@1)       EAbove (022100@1)station walls, the colors run
                      F#m (244222@1)             DTo (xx0232@1)fill the swimming pool when I am done

A (x02220@1)                       E (022100@1)   D (xx0232@1)When the satellites hang all around
                           A (x02220@1)      EAnd (022100@1)I can finally hear the lovely sound
                            F#m (244222@1)            DWhen (xx0232@1)all the engines in the backroom die down
A (x02220@1)                     E (022100@1)        D (xx0232@1)                 
 All the airships move across the sky
                            A (x02220@1)      EAnd (022100@1)my equipment just keeps standing by
            F#m (244222@1)              DThe (xx0232@1)planets glow and intensify
E (022100@1)                  F#m (244222@1)         A (x02220@1)           D (xx0232@1)          E (022100@1) I am the pilot of a cargo airplane that travels through your veins

Bm (x24432@1)                  A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1) Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon

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
