Edge of the Universe

             G                                C

I wake up to the roar of my racing thoughts,

               Em                                        Am         D7  

Drive to work, sip my coffee in the parking lot.

                      G

But then it's up, up, and away 

              Em    C

Like an astronaut

Am             D7                      G

Set out to bring you back home.

  G                                      C

I float over Mars and its blood red dunes,

                Em                                                  Am          D7 

Then I'm flung round the sun 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               Bm7           Am         D7

I've tried to sit at your hospital bed

            G                 Am               D7

By the body that's missing its soul.

             Em              Bm7                       Am               D7

Oh, but how can I stay when you're light-years away,

                G                  Am             D7

And you can't find a way to get home?

           G                                             C

At my desk there's a body, and it works all day

             Em                                              Am        D7 

And its brain crunches numbers automatically,

                G

But I am gone. I'm at the heart 

            Em     C

Of the Milky Way 

Am           D7                       G

I've gotta bring you back home.

                                                      C

I will burn through the miles to find you, Love.

                   Em                                     Am     D7 

No, I won't linger in the beauty of a nebula. 

               G

I'll push on toward the lights 

            Em      C

Of Andromeda. 

Am                    D7                    G

One day I will bring you back home.

             Em                 Bm7                   Am         D7

'Cause I've come to dread that old hospital bed,

                     G              Am                D7

Where your body still waits for its soul.

                      Em             Bm7           Am         D7

Please, can we be the first in the vast universe 

           G                  Am                     D7

To go right to the edge and back home?

                    B7                                     Em

Oh, there's nothing as cruel as old gravity

                 B7                                                         C

And how many times I've asked him to have mercy on me

                      Am                                         D7

That I might meet my baby beyond the stars.

                        G                                       C

But you have gone to the edge of the universe.

           Em                                   Am           D7 

Now I see I can't follow even though it hurts.

          G

I give up. I'll stay here, 

                           Em          C

Though there's nothing worse

          Am              D7                  Em

Than waiting for you to come home.

              Am               D7                  Em

I will be waiting for you to come home.

                        Am              D7                  Em 

And I'll go on waiting for you to come home...
