[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
Am                            G
Hey, do you know where you're going?
                     F
Have you noticed its snowing?
               E    E
Although it is June?

[Verse 2]
Am                          G
They said your weakness was showing
                      F
That your rapture was growing
                  E   E
Just a little too soon

[Verse 3]
    C
But under these mountains
                                G
the nights and the shadows grow long
                       Am
The stars up above you feel wrong
                 G   E
This is not your sky?

[Chorus 1]
Am   E E7 C
Pray
     A             G      Am
to a strange constellation
Bm                    C     F
Thank God for your isolation
        G        Am E
This forever goodbye

[Verse 4]
Am                           G
Dawn throws its light on the covers
                    F
In this bed there's another
               E
Asleep at your side

[Verse 5]
Am                     G
Gone, the embrace of a lover
                    F
And the fire you discovered
            E
Already has died

[Chorus 2]
    C
Her body recoils
                               G
as your hand goes to touch her again
                                  Am
She's a temple that won't let you in
                   G    E
At her side you're alone

Am  E7  C                      G      Am
On  her back is the same constellation
Bm                  G     F
Confirming your alienation
    Am                E   E
No, this flesh is not home

[Verse 6]
Am                G
You carry a vague conviction
                       F
This life rose from an eviction
            E
Out of your homeland

[Verse 7]
Am                 G
True but it's also addiction
                  F
To this soft crucifixion
                    E    E
Under these foreign hands

[Chorus 3]
    Em   C
And like all Christs before you
                                 G
you kneel down beneath the night sky
                           Am
To look into your father's eyes
              G   E (soft)
And only feel lost

Am  E7 C                       G      Am
Cru ci fied to a strange constellation
  Bm              C   F
A new king awaits coronation
                     C     F
But there will be no great revelation
F
Your journey is your destination
F
Discomfort could be your salvation
    G
Here
                   Am
under the Southern Cross

[Outro]
Bm C E Am G Em F E Am
                         (soft, plucked)
