Intro
G6  G6/F#  Em  D/F#  C/G
 
 
Verse 1
   G6                G6/F#  Em           D/F#     C/G
We drive through the woods, rich neighborhoods to watch
   G6          G6/F#       Em            D/F#     C/G
We joked as we looked that they were too good for us
       G6       G6/F      Em          D/F#
'Cause socially speaking, we were the same
     C/G
With runaway fathers and mothers who drank
  G6          G6/F#  Em               D/F#     C/G
A tale old as time,  young love don't last for life
 
           Em         C/G
And now I know, now I know
              Em               C/G
It's time to go, it's time to go
 
 
Chorus 1
      G6           G6/F#       Em         D/F#
We've traveled the seas, we've ridden the stars
      C/G
We've seen everything from Saturn to Mars
   G6         G6/F#      Em         D/F#
As much as it seems like you own my heart
     C/G              N.C.
It's astronomy, we're two worlds apart
 
 
Post-Chorus 1
G6  G6/F#  Em       D/F#   C/G
              (It's astronomy) We're two worlds apart
G6  G6/F#  Em       D/F#   C/G
              (It's astronomy) We're two worlds apart
 
 
Verse 2
G6        G6/F#   Em         D/F#        C/G
From far away, -- I wish I'd stayed with you
    G6           G6/F#   Em            D/F#  C/G
But here face to face, a stranger that I once knew
  G6           G6/F#         Em           D/F#
I thought if I wandered, I'd fall back in love
          C/G
You said "distance brings fondness" but guess not with us
    G6      G6/F#     Em        D/F#     C/G
The only mistake that we didn't make was run (now look what we've done)
 
 
Chorus 2
      G6           G6/F#       Em         D/F#
We've traveled the seas, we've ridden the stars
      C/G
We've seen everything from Saturn to Mars
   G6         G6/F#      Em         D/F#
As much as it seems like you own my heart
     C/G              N.C.
It's astronomy, we're two worlds apart
 
 
Post-Chorus 2
G6  G6/F#  Em       D/F#   C/G
              (It's astronomy) We're two worlds apart
 
 
Bridge
Am
Stop tryna keep us alive
                   Em                    D/F#
You're pointing at stars in the sky that already died
Am
Stop tryna keep us alive
                    Em                  D/F#    N.C.
You can't force the stars to align when they've already
G6  G6/F#  Em  D/F#   C/G
         G6  G6/F#  Em  D/F#       C/G
 
 
Chorus 3
         G6           G6/F#       Em         D/F# N.C.
Oh we've traveled the seas, we've ridden the stars
      C/G
We've seen everything from Saturn to Mars
   G6         G6/F#      Em         D/F#
As much as it seems like you own my heart
     C/G                  N.C.
It's astronomy, we're two worlds apart

    Stop tryna  keep  us alive,     you're pointing at stars in the sky   that already      died
 
    Am                                                 Em
    Stop tryna  keep  us alive,    you can't force the stars to align     when they've already...
