Intro:
C#
C# F#
I saw pictures from the space shuttle, North America at night
C# F#
I could almost see my house, I could almost see the rest of my life
A#m F#
Now my mother's in the hospital and my friends are in the news
C# F# A#m C#
Collecting trophies for the songs they wrote when we lived in the shadow of the moon
C# F#
Guess I've never made a gold record and I've never been to Mars
C# F#
But I've traveled 'round this world shooting fireworks at falling stars (and prison bars)
A#m F#
And my father's got a decent job, I hear he's finally pulling through
C# F# A#m C#
There's more to life than singing songs we write when we are in the shadow of the moon
A#m F# C#
And I see colors when I hear your voice
A#m F# C#
Grab your wings, they're putting gravity on trial
A#m F# C#
I see colors, I don't hear the noise
A#m C# F#
Because we're only flying for awhile
A#m C# F#
Because we're only flying for awhile
C# F#
I saw this picture of my niece twisting high above the narrow beam
C# F#
And my brother looked so proud like he woke up in this perfect dream
A#m F#
And I've known you all my life but I knew you long before that too
C# F# A#m C#
Let's go dancing to the songs we wrote when we lived in the shadow of the moon
A#m F# C#
And I see colors when I hear your voice
A#m F# C#
Grab your wings, they're putting gravity on trial
A#m F# C#
I see colors, I don't hear the noise
A#m C# F#
Sometimes we're only flying for awhile
A#m F# C#
I could love you in the falling rain,
A#m F# C#
Grab your things this is a storm we're meant to ride
A#m F# C#
Like synesthesia aboard a stalling plane
A#m C# F#
It's like we're only flying for awhile, flying for awhile
F# A#m F# A#m
A#m F# C#
And I see colors when I hear your voice
A#m F# C#
Grab your wings, they're putting gravity on trial
A#m F# C#
I see colors, I don't fear the choice
A#m C# F#
Sometimes we're only flying for awhile
A#m F# C#
I could love you in the falling rain,
A#m F# C#
Grab your things this is a storm we're meant to ride
A#m F# C#
Like synesthesia aboard a stalling plane
A#m C# F#
It's like we're only flying for awhile, flying for awhile
