I Am Astronaut

E     A         E    A
I am astronaut, I am astronaut.
E        A
I am the sole reason this shuttle 
will sink or swim against the wind.
E        A
I am the sole reason this shuttle 
will sink or swim against the wind.\
E              A
Jet fuel is so expensive, when I’m 
nineteen and I know what I’ve been 
missing.

[Chorus]
A                              E
Your calling out my name again, I’m 
wondering where have you been.
A                                 
Those nights I’ve spent away from 
       C#m    B
you, shooting for the moon.
A                       E
I begged you to show me the maps and
 notes I know they read.
A                               
This is where we lost the thing 
C#m        B
keeping us alive

E A x2

[Verse 2]
E                            A   
She said she’s building me a 
        E
rocket ship and sometimes I’m dumb 
to believe.\
E                             A
This and her it’s all I need. You 
planned, you failed, the stories and
 telltales.
Bad astronaut with the contagious 
dream. Bad astronaut, so don’t blame
 it on me.

[Bridge]
(It’s bigger than this but not 
                 A
bigger than me.) I’m doing fine 
without you.
B                                 
It’s been a while since I’ve 
     A                     B
talked to the girl who gave me, for 
the world.
A                           
And don’t forget to send me a 
  B
postcard from your travels.
A                                 
You’ve seen it, tell me about how 
C#m  B
life ain’t worth it anymore.

[Instrumental]
 A B x2

(spoken)
“Boys and girls in America have such
 a sad time together.
Society demands that they submit to 
sex immediately without proper 
preliminary talk.
Not courting talk, real talk about 
souls
For life is holy and every moment is
 precious.”

[Bridge 2]
 E
I’m gonna map this galaxy and I will
 name her after things.
A                               
Think of all that supported me, 
C#m          B
that’s you. That’s you.

[Chorus]
A                               E
Your calling out my name again, I’m 
wondering where have you been.(It’s 
bigger than
E
this but not bigger than me.)
A                                 
Those nights I’ve spent away from 
       C#m    B
you, shooting for the moon.(It’s 
bigger than this
B
but not bigger than me.)
A                       E
I begged you to show me the maps and
 notes I know they read.(It’s bigger
 than this but
E
not bigger than me.)
A                               
This is where we lost the thing 
C#m        B
keeping us alive. (It’s bigger than 
this but not
B
bigger than me.)
