[Verse 1]
EmFollowing that light, they all have told me it’s a suicidal Cmission,
But I rather burn out tAmhan keep running on low emission
EmCan’t bend space or time, but even if I could, I wouldn’t dream ofC  
Taking shortcuts to that planet Fmeant for you and BI
[Verse 2]
EmAnd we’ve got our options, but since we Am7locked eyes they’re all in my blindspotD  
Maybe it’s that fake abundance tGhat still keeps you uB7ndecided
 Em.                                                                Am7  D  
Flying through the endless night, shifting gears of black and white,
And my mind’s a Gemini, hGalf a thrill and hBalf a fright
[Chorus]
But aCll it Amtakes me is one Emglance at old BmJuly and I kCnow,
CIt’s where I Emwanted to go all aDlong
I Cwant it eAmven when it’s Emdark and you’re fBmlying low
                           C                  Am7   Em(let ring)
It must be love or madness, or something silly in between
[Verse 3]
EmSaid turn your ship around, this ain’t the Am7time for us to start this motion,D7  
But just as I agree, I’m thrown back Gin the intersB7tellar ocean
EmMaybe cause it’s been so long since I could Am7filter out the sirens’ songsD  
Take my hand and say no more, for I’m the Grushing fool that you’ve been wBaiting for
[Chorus]

[Verse 1]

Em C

Following that light, they all have told me it’s a suicidal mission,

But I rather burn out than keep running on low emission

Can’t bend space or time, but even if I could, I wouldn’t dream of

F B

Taking shortcuts to that planet meant for you and I

[Verse 2]

Em Am7 D

And we’ve got our options, but since we locked eyes they’re all in my blindspot

G B7

Maybe it’s that fake abundance that still keeps you undecided

Em Am7 D

Flying through the endless night, shifting gears of black and white,

G B

And my mind’s a Gemini, half a thrill and half a fright

[Chorus]

C Am Em Bm C

But all it takes me is one glance at old July and I know,

Said turn your ship around, this ain’t the time for us to start this motion,

G B7

But just as I agree, I’m thrown back in the interstellar ocean

G B

Take my hand and say no more, for I’m the rushing fool that you’ve been waiting for

And all it takes me is one glance at old July and I know,
