ASTRO

(Neil Finn)

VERSE:  
F#m            A
You weightless astronaut

F#m        A
You sunset diving bird

F#m         A            E             B
a cool wind set upon the branches of a tree

F#m         A
you holding my attention

F#m        A
you are my first impression

F#m       A           E                   B
and I can recognize a life that I've been given


CHORUS:
G#m    B             G#m        B
One day they will discover you

          E
low cloud moving cross the sky

G#m    B            E      
one day they will uncover you

G#m      B           E                 C#m
young girl, wash the sleep out of your eyes


VERSE:
Dust on my piano
wool rest never sleeping
all your best one-liners borrowed from a film
the thing that gets to me
is how you're never free
and how the spirit yearns
your body is a prison

CHORUS:
One day they will discover you
low cloud moving cross the sky
one day they will uncover you

VERSE:

The thing that gets to me is
how you're never free and
how the spirit yearns
your body is a prison

BRIDGE:
G#m           A#m7             B
Bright as her eyes wide in the night


why can't you see me

E             C#/F*         F#
come with the wind, time to begin


there'll be no compromise

    A#m                                  E    F#
and all you want is wrapped around you

           A#m                                E   F#
there's no saints preserve us when we're dying

   A#m                               E    F#
to pick us up from where we're lying


CHORUS:
One day they will discover you
one day they will uncover you

G#m              A#m               B
Bright as her eyes wide in the night

                       G#m    A#m    
they will discover you

             B             G#m
they will discover you
