Tom: C#m
E
[Verse 1]
E
Is that a satellite
Or is that a shooting star
F#m
I think I'd prefer the latter
[Verse 2]
F#m Faug
All because wishes don't come true
F#m7/E B
Unless they're shooting straight for you
E
From a thousand miles away
F#m
Well if it was I wouldn't have much to say
[Verse 3]
F#m Faug
I need a new guitar
F#m7/E B
And a car that goes far
E
So I can drive away
[Verse 4]
F#m Faug
The road moves on too fast
F#m7/E B E7
But not fast enough to pass the things I can't get past
F#m Faug
And that blinking light above
F#m7/E B
Tells me that I used my wishes up
G#
So wish me luck
(yeah)
[Chorus]
F#m
So tell the world I'm out of town
B
In search of something to talk about
G# C#m
To set my soul on fire just because
F#m
And as my еgo's burning out
B
Go off the bridge and as I'm sinking down
G# C#m
I'll write thе greatest song there ever was (yeah)
A
And then I'll finally be enough
B
The sun will sink beneath the bluff
G# C#m C#7
And then I'll watch the stars from underneath the water
F#m
Until the satellite comes round again
E
I'll greet him like a good old friend
G#m B F#m7 C#m
As I let the words just slip right through my hands
[Bridge]
Amaj7 G#m7
Amaj7
But ohhh you'll never know
G#m7
When someone will pick you up and make you see
F#m Faug F#m7/E
That I'm the one strung out on my own apathy
B G#
Oh not to blame but me
(okay)
[Chorus/ Outro]
F#m
So the tell the world I'm out of town
B
In search of something to talk about
G# C#m
To set my soul on fire just because
F#m
And as my ego's burning out
B
Go off the bridge and as I'm sinking down
G# C#m
I'll write the greatest song there ever was (yeah)
A
And then I'll finally be enough
B
The sun will sink beneath the bluff
G# C#m C#7
And then I'll watch the stars from underneath the water
F#m7
Until the satellite comes round again
E
I'll greet him like a good old friend
G#m B F#m7 C#m
As I let the words just slip right through my hands
