Intro

Cm  G  Ab  Eb
Eb
They say the truth's your best defence
    Gm
I'm bleeding just to pay the rent
    Cm
And broken dreams mean nothing
               Ab
When you need something
Just to get you through the year
Eb
And now we're moving out
   Gm
So pack your clothes, your books, your doubt
    Cm
And bring the piece of paper
        Ab                                   Eb
That I gave you, back when you were all alone
              Gm                       Cm
Letters sent home with no return address
                        Ab
I've got a bag full of old clothes
                           Cm
I've got a bag full of stress
Ab       Eb        Bb  Cm    Ab
I'm so sorry that I'm leaving
        Eb
You so little to believe in
( Gm  Cm  Ab )
                Eb
'Cause we had a house
                           Gm
With a perfect door and a front room
With the right decor
       Cm
And I came and wrecked it all
        Ab                                      Eb
Yes, I came and wrecked it all like I always do
                             G
'Cause I didn't think and I poured your life down the kitchen sink
          Cm
With the dregs of yesterday
         Ab
And now I'm going to be late
       Cm
I'm sorry
Ab       Eb        Bb  Cm    Ab
I'm so sorry that I'm leaving
        Eb
You so little to believe in
Cm           Ab               Eb              Bb     Cm  Ab
Just tell me, that you're free, of your woes and of me
         Eb
There's weather more reliable than me
( Eb  Ab )
Eb
I'm calling base command as the last bit of oxygen runs out but
Ab
They're down there softly sleeping
The sun sets over the Pacific region
Eb
I'm sitting here hanging in the balance
Just barely in the atmosphere
Ab
I'm sitting here hanging in the balance
Just barely in the atmosphere
( Cm )
Ab       Eb        Bb  Cm    Ab
I'm so sorry that I'm leaving
        Eb
You so little to believe in
Cm           Ab               Eb              Bb     Cm  Ab
Just tell me, that you're free, of your woes and of me
         Eb
There's weather more reliable than me
( Cm )
    Ab        Eb
As lonely as Laika
         Bb    Cm
Up there all alone
              Ab
You miss the atmosphere
      Eb
The stars are now your home
