This is actually an Amanda Palmer solo song, but since there is no section for here i'll 
it here in the dolls section :)
these are just the chords, listen to the song for the rhythm. its a very very simple 
:)
Intro
Dm-Dsus2-F- G(x4)
F-G-Am  
is it enough to have some love
small enough to slip inside a book
small enough to cover with your hand
because everyone around you wants to look
F-G-Am  
it is enough to have some love
small enough to slip inside the cracks
the pieces dont fit together so good
with all the breaking and all the gluing back
F-G-Am  
and i am still not getting what i want
i want to touch the back of your right arm
i wish you could remind me who i was
because every day Im a little further off
F-Am-G  
but you are, my love, the astronaut
flying in the face of science
i will gladly stay an afterthought
F-C-Bb  
just bring back some nice reminders
Dm-E-F- G(x4)
F-G-Am  
and is it getting harder to pretend
that life goes on without you in the wake
and can you see the means without the end
in the random frantic action that we take
F-G-Am  
and is it getting easy not to care
despite the many rings around your name
it isnt funny and it isnt fair
youve traveled all this way and its the same
F-Am-G  
but you are, my love, the astronaut
flying in the face of science
i will gladly stay an afterthought
F-C-Bb  
just bring back some nice reminders
Dm-E-F- G(x4)
Dm-E-F-G  
and i would tell them anything to see you split the evening
but as you see i do not have an awful lot to tell
everybodys sick for something that they can find fascinating
everyone but you and even you arent feeling well
F-Am-G  
but you are, my love, the astronaut
flying in the face of science
i will gladly stay an afterthought
F-C-Bb  
just bring back some nice reminders
F-Am-G  
yes you are, my love, the astronaut
crashing in the name of science
just my luck they sent your upper half
its a very nice reminder
F-C-Bb  
its a very nice reminder
F-G-Am  
and you may be acquainted with the night
but I have seen the darkness in the day
and you must know it is a terrifying sight
because you and i are living the same way
