Honorary Astronaut


Tom: Em

Em
Irreverence says: "Put the pretense to bed.
Em
It's better than when you say you'll hit the center and end up on the edge."
Bm
But it takes every ounce of restraint,
             E
to keep from adding tracks.
A                                     D
To every production I think I'm gonna keep stripped back

[Pre-Chorus]
G
You won't believe, no, you couldn't conceive,
          C
of what I say about my own work in my mind.
         D
Oh baby, hold on tight. Strap in for the ride, I think I got a hit in me but...

[Chorus]
           Am
If I am to die,
         D
before I get my chance,
                C
would you be so kind?
             Am
When it's my time,
      D
don't spread my ash,
             C
pack me in a mine.

[Verse 2]
Em
Gimme more potential even if it means byou'd expect devastation from me.
Em
Flag me in the field for everyone to see, I know someone will eventually reveal.
G
I'd been carefully constructed with glitter and confetti, but nothing at all intended
                     A
to harm the innocent ones who,
     G                                      D
were bold or bored enough to inch their way down,
                       A
to see what I had been up to.

Bm
But for now you gotta settle,
                E
for hearing yet another track .
A
Where the melody is basic,
                      D
and the metaphors are out of wack.

[Pre-Chorus]
G
You won't believe, no, you couldn't conceive,
            C
how weird a "pop" song is if it's from my mind but baby,
D
I maintain with the time that remains, I just know that I could crack the code...

[Chorus]
         Am
But If I die,
         D
before I get my chance,
                C
would you be so kind?
             Am
When it's my time,
      D
don't spread my ash,
             C
hide me in a mine.
                                 Am
Down in the ground for miles and miles,
          D
so when a collier comes,
                  C
I've been there a while.
                  Am
And with all that time,
    D                                  C
and pressure, I might finally learn to shine.

[Outro]
                         Am       D       Am
I might finally learn to shine.
                  D        C                                  Am
And with all that time and pressure, I might finally learn to shine.
