Intro: A

Verse 1:
A
I look exhausted
E                             D
 Oh, stiff and awkward on the outside of the moment
                              A
It's not my first time bitter drunk on a red carpet
E                          D                         Dadd9
  Or my first time losing,   and it won't be my last
A                    E
  You said ignore it
                        D
Oh California's so much more than some award show
                                 A                  E
You're no more important than an insect on a window
                                   D                        Dadd9
They'll see you climbing but won't care until you get close

Pre-chorus:
              E
You said some people don't know why they're wolves
          A
They just howl for the sound of it
          D
Some will never know they're beautiful

Until the crowd points it out for them
      E
But I see you through a camera flash
       A
I look back and you laugh
            D                         Dadd9
And this is hard, but I feel less far

Chorus:
     A                    E
This ain't Watertown, I'm on alien ground
      Gbm                 E
I'm a college kid with my windows down
       D                     E
I'm an astronaut, you're the Moon
  Gbm                  E
I stare at you, I sing to you
  D          Dadd9
I circle you

Verse 2:
A                       E
  Rain on a steel roof, leaks through the ceiling
         D
Hits the patrons in the ballroom
                                A
You said, "Oh, look, babe, even God is trying to warn you
E
  All this ain't for you"
D                        Dadd9
  But I cling to my seat

Pre-chorus:
             E
I guess some people don't know why they're wolves
          A
They just howl for the sound of it
          D
Some will never know they're beautiful

Until the crowd points it out for them
      E
But I see you through a camera flash
       A
I look back and you laugh
            D                         Dadd9
And this is hard, but I feel less far

Chorus:
     A                    E
This ain't Watertown, I'm on alien ground
      Gbm                 E
I'm a college kid with my windows down
       D                     E
I'm an astronaut, you're the Moon
  Gbm                     E
I stare at you, I sing to you

Post-chorus:
      A                      E
And I clutch my cloth, and I bite my tongue
       Gbm            E
I'm an aging wolf who lost the taste for blood
     D                     E
Even anxious pups need the Moon
       Gbm                 A
I howl for you, I sing to you

Bridge:
         D   Gbm E
I circle you
         D   Gbm E
I circle you
         D   Gbm E
I circle you

Instrumental: A E D
