[Verse]
Em                Cadd9        Bm                    Cadd9
   The moon shook                 and curled up like gentle fire
Em                  Cadd9        Bm                Cadd9
   The ocean glazed                     and melted wire
Em               Cadd9                Bm              Cadd9
   Voices buzzed      in spiral eyes     Stars dived in blinding skies

[Chorus]
D    Dsus4 D    Dsus4 Cadd9
           Stars        die            
D    Dsus4 D    Dsus4 Cadd9
           Blin-     -ding skies.

Em Cadd9 Bm Cadd9

[Verse]
Em              Cadd9        Bm            Cadd9
   Tree cracked                     and mountain cried
Em               Cadd9       Bm            Cadd9
   Bridges broke                    and  window sighed
Em               Cadd9                  Bm                   Cadd9
   Cells grew up      and rivers burst        Sound obscured and sense reversed

[Chorus]
D    Dsus4 D    Dsus4 Cadd9
           Stars        die 
D    Dsus4 D    Dsus4 Cadd9
           Blin-     -ding skies

[Interlude]
Em Cadd9 Bm Cadd9
"Hello, Neil and Buzz. I'm talking to you by telephone from the Oval Room at the White House... (Nixon, 1969)
Em Cadd9 Bm Cadd9
Em Cadd9 Bm Cadd9
Em Cadd9 Bm Bbmaj7

Em Cadd9 Bm Cadd9

[Verse]
Em            Cadd9       Bm           Cadd9
   Idle mind                       and severed soul
Em               Cadd9      Bm         Cadd9
   Silent nerves                   and begging bowl
Em              Cadd9                Bm                  Cadd9
   Shallow haze      to blast a way       Hyper sleep to end the day

[Chorus]
D    Dsus4 D    Dsus4 Cadd9
           Stars        die
D    Dsus4 D    Dsus4 Cadd9
           Blin-      -ding skies
