Reina capos this on the first fret. It is then sung in the most sorrowful key of A flat.
G C
You have gone to the edge of the universe
Em Am D7
and I swear, I will follow even if it hurts
G
I have tried and so I know
Em C
there is nothing worse
Am D7 G
than waiting for you to come home
I wake up to the roar
C
of my racing thoughts
Em
Drive to work, sip my coffee
Am D7
in the parking lot
G
Then it's up, up, and away
Em C
like an astronaut
Am D7 G
set out to bring you back home
C
I float over Mars and its blood red dunes
Em
Then I'm flung round the sun
Am D7
toward the distant moons
G
I will face the blackest hole
Em C
if it leads to you
Am D7 G
'cause I need to bring you back home
Em Am D7
I've tried to sit at your hospital bed
G Am D7
by the body that's missing its soul,
G Em
Oh, but how can I stay
Am D7
when you're light-years away
G Am D7
and you can't find a way to get home?
G
At my desk there's a body
C
and it works all day
Em D7 Am
Its brain crunches numbers automatically
G
But I am gone, I'm at the heart
Em C
of the Milky Way
Am D7 G
'cause I'm gonna bring you back home
I will burn through the miles
C
to find you, love
Em Am D7
I won't linger in the beauty of a nebula
G
I'll push on
Em C
toward the lights of Andromeda
Am D7 G
for one day I will bring you back home
Em Am D7
I've come to dread that old hospital bed
G Em D7
where your body still waits for its soul
G Em
Please, can we be the first
Am D7
in the vast universe
G Am D7
to go right to the edge and back home?
B7 Em
There's nothing as cruel as old gravity
B7
How many times Ive asked him
C
to have mercy on me
Am
that I might meet my baby
D7
beyond the stars?
G
But you have gone
C
to the edge of the universe
Em
And now I see I can't follow
Am D7
even though it hurts
G
I'll give up, I'll stay here,
Em C
though there's nothing worse
Am D7 G
Than waiting for you to come home
Am
But I will be waiting
D7 G
for you to come home
Am D7 G
I'll go on waiting for you to come home
