[Intro]
 G

[Verse 1]
G
I look exhausted
D/F#
 Oh, stiff and awkward on the
C
Outside of the moment
                               G
It's not my first time bitter, drunk
 On a red carpet
D/F#                       C
  Or my first time losing,   and it
                 C9
Won't be my last
G                       D/F#
  You said, "Ignore it"
                         C
Oh, California's so much more than
Some awards show

You're no more important than an
G                  D/F#
Insect on a window

They'll see you climbing, but won't
C                         C9
Care until you get close"


[Pre-Chorus]
              D
You said some people don't know why
They're wolves
          G
They just howl for the sound of it
          C
Some will never know they're
Beautiful

Until the crowd points it out for
Them
      D
But I see you through a camera flash
       G
I look back and you laugh
            C
And this is hard, but I feel less
    C9
Far


[Chorus]
     G                    D/F#
This ain't Watertown, I'm on alien
Ground
      Em                  D
I'm a collеge kid with my windows
Down
       C                     D
I'm an astronaut, you're the Moon
  Em                   D
I starе at you, I sing to you
  C          C9
I circle you


[Verse 2]
G                       D/F#
  Rain on a steel roof, leaks
Through the ceiling
         C
Hits the patrons in the ballroom
                                G
You said, "Oh, look, babe, even God
Is trying to warn you
D/F#
  All this ain't for you"
C                        C9
  But I cling to my seat


[Pre-Chorus]
             D
I guess some people don't know why
They're wolves
          G
They just howl for the sound of it
          C
Some will never know they're
Beautiful

Until the crowd points it out for
Them
      D
But I see you through a camera flash
       G
I look back and you laugh
            C
And this is hard, but I feel less
    C9
Far


[Chorus]
     G                    D/F#
This ain't Watertown, I'm on alien
Ground
      Em                  D
I'm a college kid with my windows
Down
       C                     D
I'm an astronaut, you're the Moon
  Em                      D
I stare at you, I sing to you


[Post-Chorus]
      G                      D/F#
And I clutch my cloth, and I bite my
 Tongue
       Em             D
I'm an aging wolf who lost the taste
 For blood
     C                     D
Even anxious pups need the Moon
       Em                 G
I howl for you, I sing to you


[Bridge]
         C   Em  D
I circle you
         C   Em  D
I circle you
         C   Em  D
I circle you

[Final]
             G    D/A        C
If I'm gonna lose_____ you either
Way
             G    D/A        C
If I'm gonna lose_____ you either
