Old July

Em                                
Following that light, they all 
                          C
have told me it’s a suicidal 
mission,
                       Am
But I rather burn out than keep 
running on low emission
Em                                
Can’t bend space or time, but even
                                   C
 if I could, I wouldn’t dream of
Taking shortcuts to that planet 
F                 B
meant for you and I


[Verse 2]
Em                                
And we’ve got our options, but 
      Am7                          
since we locked eyes they’re all in
            D
 my blindspot
                                G  
Maybe it’s that fake abundance that
                  B7
 still keeps you undecided
Em .                             
Flying through the endless night, 
  Am7                              
shifting gears of black and white,
   D

                         G    
And my mind’s a Gemini, half a 
             B
thrill and half a fright


[Chorus]
     C     Am              Em    
But all it takes me is one glance
        Bm          C
 at old July and I know,
C            Em                D
It’s where I wanted to go all along
  C        Am            Em      
I want it even when it’s dark and
         Bm
 you’re flying low
Continues after the ad
C                           Am7     
           Em (let ring)
It must be love or madness, or 
something silly in between


[Verse 3]
Em                             
Said turn your ship around, this 
            Am7                    
ain’t the time for us to start this
           D7
 motion,
But just as I agree, I’m thrown back
G             B7
 in the interstellar ocean
Em                                
Maybe cause it’s been so long 
          Am7                      
since I could filter out the 
           D
sirens’ songs
Take my hand and say no more, for 
        G                       
I’m the rushing fool that you’ve 
       B
been waiting for


[Chorus]
     C     Am              Em    
And all it takes me is one glance
        Bm          C
 at old July and I know,
C            Em                D
It’s where I wanted to go all along
  C        Am            Em      
I want it even when it’s dark and
         Bm
 I’m flying low
C                           Am
It must be something darling

Cause all it takes me is one

glance at old July and I know,
Am            Em                Bm
It’s where I wanted to go all along
C          Am            Em

and I’m flying low

It must be something darling I 
         Bm
mean that sun’s still shining
C       Am            Em         
I see a golden lining, just over the
 Bm
 horizon
C       Am                Em    
I see a golden lining, I mean 
    Bm
that sun’s still shining
C              Am                
There must be something darling, 
Em          Bm
I mean that sun’s still shining
C       Am .           Em         
I see a golden lining, just over the
Bm
 horizon
C .     Am .           Em         
I see a golden lining, I mean that
  Bm
 sun’s still shining.
