Astronaut

If [Am7]I had eaten up [F]
all the [G]curry you made tonight
Would you have [Am7]been happy enough [F]
to give me a [G]smile?
But you [Am7]said with a [F]sigh,
looking at [G]me in the eye
“Just don't [Am7]even bother
with it [F]next time”
I think [G]that you were right [A#6]

[C/E] [F] [G] [Am7]
[C/E] [F] [G] [Am7]
[C/E] [F] [A#]

If I [C/E]were someone [F]brave,
just [G]imagine what I could do [Am7]
I could hit [C/E]back and defend [F]myself,
and [G]maybe even [Am7]you
There’s a [C/E]chance, a tiny [F]chance,
that [G]you just might smile [Am7]again
Cause that’s [C/E]all that really
ever [F]mattered to me [G]in the [Am7]end

If I [C/E]lived all [F]alone,
you wouldn't [G]have to deal with [Am7]me
And you would [C/E]be
free of the [F]troubles that I have
to [G]deal with constantly [Am7]
But [C/E]then, but maybe [F]then, I
would [G]spend my days [Am7]alone
Living like [C/E]that
and never [F]knowing of you,
I'd [G]be all on my [Am7]own

If I [C/E]lied all the [F]time, would
you [G]know truth from [Am7]lie?
You would [C/E]scold me [F]regardless,
even [G]if you weren't right [Am7]
It's [C/E]on, on days like [F]this I
start to [G]wonder just what [Am7]if…?
Here [C/E]alone, in my [F]room where I
can't shake [G]off my loneliness [Am7]

The days [A#]so full of [Am7]emptiness
They [A#]start to crack from [Am7]nothingness
The [A#]what's and [C]ifs are [C#dim]leaking out
Esc [A#]aping [C]even now, they [C#dim]just won't stop [D#]

But [C/E]now I’ll [F]start to [G]close my [Am7]eyes
Block my [C/E]ears from all this [F]noise,
looking [G]back just one last [Am7]time
I [C/E]can't hear your [F]voice
and I [G]can't see your [Am7]smile
But [C/E]somehow I get the [F]feeling
that in the [G]end I'll be [Am7]alright

I [A#]wish that I could [Am7]just erase
The [A#]memories that I've [Am7]come to hate
And [A#]only [C]leave the [C/C#]good behind [Dm]
I [A#]don't think [C]I would mind [Dm] [D#]

If I [C/E]did all the [F]things
I [G]said that I would [G]do
Would you [C/E]then

beli [F]eve me if
I [G]said that we were [Am7]through?
Someh [C/E]ow, I know for [F]sure
you'd f [G]inally start to [Am7]smile
After [C/E]all, when it [F]comes to
you, I’m the [G]expert aren’t [Am7]I?

Believe [C/E]me when I [F]say,
I [G]tried to [Am7]everyday
But my [C/E]words wouldn’t [F]reach you.
Hey [G]isn’t that [Am7]strange?
I just [C/E]wish I could [F]see you,
but my [G]legs can't seem to [Am7]move
It’s as [C/E]if they say, “You [F]deserve it”,
I [G]guess that it’s [Am7]true

If [Cm]I were still [Gm]alive,
I’d [G#]sing just [D#]one last time
A [Cm]song I never [Gm]sang for
you, but [G#]now I have to [D#]try
It's [Cm]just a bit emb [Gm]arrassing,
but you [G#]need to hear it [D#]through
It would be [Cm]nice if you could
l [Gm]isten to this [G#]song I made for [D#]you

It would be [Cm]nice if [Gm]this song
could [G#]one day [D#]reach you

But [C#m]now I’ll [G#m]start to [A]close my [E]eyes
Block my [C#m]ears from all this [G#m]noise,
looking [A]back just one last [E]time
I [C#m]can't hear your [G#m]voice
and [A]I can't see your [E]smile
But [C#m]somehow I get the [G#m]feeling
that in the [A]end I'll be [E]alright

So [C#m]now [G#m]I start to [A]close my [E]eyes
Block my [C#m]ears from all this [G#m]noise,
never look [A]ing back this [E]time
I [C#m]can't hear your [G#m]voice
and I [A]can't see your [E]smile
But [C#m]somehow I get the [G#m]feeling

that in the [A]end I'll be [E]alright
