[Verse 1]
F G Am
Is it enough to have some love,
F G Am
small enough to slip inside a book,
F G Am
small enough to cover with your hand, because
F G Am
everyone around you wants to look?
[Verse 2]
F G Am
Is it enough to have some love,
F G Am
small enough to fit inside the cracks?
F G Am
The pieces don't fit together so good
F G Am
with all the breaking and all the gluing back.
[Verse 3]
F G Am
And I am still not getting what I want.
F G Am
I want to touch the back of your right arm.
F G Am
I wish you could remind me who I was, because
F G Am
every day I'm a little further off.
[Chorus A]
F Am G
But you are, my love, the astronaut,
F C Bb
flying in the name of science.
F Am G
I will gladly stay an after thought
F C Bb
Just bring back some nice reminders.

[Verse 4]
F G Am
Is it getting harder to pretend that
F G Am
life goes on without you in the wake? And
F G Am
can you see the means without the end, in the
F G Am
random frantic action that we take? And
[Verse 5]
F G Am
is it getting easy not to care
F G Am
despite the many rings around your name? It
F G Am
isn't funny and it isn't fair; you’ve
F G Am
traveled all this way and it's the same.
[Chorus a]
F Am G
But you are, my love, the astronaut,
F C Bb
crashing in the name of science.
F Am G
I will gladly stay an after thought
F C Bb
Just bring back some nice reminders.

Dm Dsus2 F G
I would tell them anything to see you split the evening, but
Dm Dsus2 F G
as you see I do not have an awful lot to tell.
Dm Dsus2 F G
Everybody's sick for something that they can find fascinating;
Dm Dsus2 F G
everyone but you and even you aren't feeling well.

Yes! you are, my love, the astronaut,
F C Bb
crashing in the name of science.
F Am G
Just my luck, they found you upper half,
F C Bb
It's a very nice reminder.
F C Bb
It's a very nice reminder.

[Verse 6][Outro]
F G Am
you may be acquainted with the night, but
F G Am
I have seen the darkness in the day, and you must
F G Am
know it's a terrifying sight, because
F G Am
you and I are living the same way.
