Comet Song

Bb D Gm Eb Bb The city shines, a silver street lamp glistens in the snow Gm Cm F Shiver as I’m walking by just knowing what I know D Gm A Dm Eb Cm I guess this wild wanderlust just got out of control Bb Gm Eb F Gbm Wish I could apologize and come in from the cold Gm Dm "Where are you going?" or "Where you've been?" Eb F Questions that you’ll never ask again Bb F Gm Eb Bb I heard the words, I took my turn, another eulogy D Gm Cm F Not sure I can hang if this is how it’s going to be Gm A Dm Eb Cm We reminisce on innocence then plunge into the sea G# Bb D Gm Eb F The Super 8 keeps flickering with choppy memories Ebm Bb Spent decades in search of what meant so much to you Ebm F Then sold the whole collection because the rent was due Bb Gm Eb Cm F Bb C D Gm Eb Bb You clenched your fist and threw the dish and called me Peter Pan Gm Cm F Your aim’s not very accurate and I thank God for that Gm A Dm Eb Cm Although I told you many times I’m not much of a man D Bb D Gm Eb F You held out hope believing that at least I might pretend D Gm F Vacuumed up all of the fairy dust Eb A D Held Savasana on the floor Gm Dm Just felt like dying when you thought of us Eb F You clapped your hands and hoped for an encore Ebm Bb So young and sunburnt, we walked on an empty beach Ebm F The surface was so shiny with nothing underneath Em C Eb Ebm Dm Cm F Bb D Eb Bb There’s tulips in the wheelbarrow, there’s cherries in the tree D Gm Cm F There’s a comet in the sky at least one night a century D Gm A Eb Cm And I will always wait for you if you will wait for me Bb D Gm Eb F Like a baby or apocalypse that we will never see 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 F You’re approaching, even as you disappear Bb Gb Gm Eb Cm Bb F Bb Gm Eb Cm F Bb Db Gb Chopped Outro We used to have these, like, bands There were thousands of them Maybe you're alone, maybe you're not Doesn't always matter (Consider the source) Sorry baby, I was dreaming of you You were in my dreams You want me? (I need you) Yes, I love you How much you love me, man? (I do not talk about that I think I will turn the microphone off)
