Comet Song

           Bb               D  
The city shines, a silver street 
   Gm     Eb           Bb
lamp glistens in the snow
       Gm            
Shiver as I’m walking 
    Cm               F
by just knowing what I know
  D          Gm          A
I guess this wild wanderlust 
    Dm      Eb        Cm
just got out of control
Bb              Gm         Eb   
Wish I could apologize and come 
            F      Gbm
in from the cold


[Refrain]
 Gm                        Dm
"Where are you going?" or "Where 
you've been?"
 Eb                            
Questions that you’ll never ask 
 F
again


[Verse 2]
Bb                   F       Gm  
I heard the words, I took my 
  Eb      Bb
turn, another eulogy
                D      Gm      Cm
Not sure I can hang if this is 
                F
how it’s going to be
Gm            A           Dm   
We reminisce on innocence then 
Eb              Cm
plunge into the sea
G#        Bb           D      
The Super 8 keeps flickering 
Gm     Eb    F
with choppy memories


[Refrain]
Ebm                             
Spent decades in search of what 
Bb
meant so much to you
     Ebm                      
Then sold the whole collection 
             F
because the rent was due

[Verse 3]
    Bb             C        D    
You clenched your fist and threw 
    Gm    Eb            Bb
the dish and called me Peter Pan
                    Gm            
Your aim’s not very accurate and I
Cm         F
 thank God for that
Gm                  A          
Although I told you many times 
Dm      Eb        Cm
I’m not much of a man
D   Bb             D         Gm
You held out hope believing 
       Eb          F
that at least I might pretend

D

[Chorus]
Gm                     F
Vacuumed up all of the fairy dust
Eb                   A      D
Held Savasana on the floor
Gm                          
Just felt like dying when you 
   Dm
thought of us
     Eb                            
You clapped your hands and hoped 
     F
for an encore


[Refrain]
Ebm                       Bb
So young and sunburnt, we walked on 
an empty beach
    Ebm                      
The surface was so shiny with 
 F
nothing underneath


Em  C Eb Ebm Dm Cm F


[Verse 4]
Bb                    D          
There’s tulips in the 
           Eb              Bb
wheelbarrow, there’s cherries in the
 tree
                       D       Gm 
There’s a comet in the sky at 
       Cm      F
least one night a century
D     Gm          A              
And I will always wait for you if
 Eb                Cm
 you will wait for me
Bb     D       Gm         Eb   
Like a baby or apocalypse that 
              F
we will never see


[Chorus 2]
Ebm                Bb
Little infant in a plastic box
Ebm                Bb
Shedding incubator tears
Ebm         Eb              Bb
She doesn’t know yet what a comet 
does
Ebm                           
You’re approaching, even as you 
  F
disappear
