[Verse 1]
Am
Had my heart set on zero gravity
                        Gbdim   F       Cmaj7   Fmaj7
Missed the signals too muted by engine roar
Am                           Dm    Am
Had no instruments mirroring my trajectory
                     F           Dm    Cmaj7  Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Fmaj7
From the mesosphere down to the ocean floor

[Chorus]
       Cmaj7       Fmaj7
Now I, an honorary astronaut
Cmaj7                 Fmaj7
I'll do the best with what I’ve got
Cmaj7    F   G   Amaj7
Honorary astronaut

Em                           F
Maybe I'm not meant for the heavens
Dm                       Am
Maybe I belong on the ground
    Em                       F                   Cmaj7
And mission control's not returning my calls anymore

Am                    F                            D
How many times do you want to watch your launches fail?

[Verse 2]
Am                     Dm
I said the words as a kid
                  Am
Unsure what they meant to me
                 Dm                       Cmaj7   Fmaj7
Years spent steadfast to the image in place
Am                   Dm               Am
Boldly claiming that I would greet infinity
                    Fmaj7    Dm7     Cmaj7  Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Fmaj7
Made a suit and a helmet to help my case

[Chorus]
       Cmaj7       Fmaj7
But I, an honorary astronaut
Cmaj7                 Fmaj7
I'll do the best with what I’ve got
Cmaj7    F   G   Amaj7
Honorary astronaut

Em                          F
Maybe you made the right decision
Dm                            Am
Maybe you're too hard on yourself
            Em
But did you really think taping wings
     F                         Cmaj7
To a Buick would mean it could fly?

[Bridge]
                C
There's nothing wrong at all with being grounded
             Fm7
Besides, you love it here
             Bb
There's much more that you have never done
Bb
Than you could ever do
                 C
No need to compare

Did never expecting to make it make me a defeatist?
E                                               C        Am
Did kicking myself when I'm down just make me a realist?
               E
Every time the weight of who I wish I already was
      C                            Am
Comes crashing down on who I still am
          E
Try to be ready and excited to receive it (Don't deceive it)
         C                     D
And even if all is said and done
D
I'm still meant to be an
