Verse:

Em                        D 
It's been almost 20 years on the red planet 
Em                                D                         G 
A place where there are no tears, it is just water floating 
G           D         G       D 
No, they're not quite emoting 

Em                         D 
I dream of the other days, of the times I held you 
Em                       D                     G 
Left in an autumn blaze, now I idle in bubbles 
G           D       G      D 
Just collecting the rumble 
 

       C                  D         C               Bm 
Well I waited for you out here, but that was just delusional 
       C                   D          C               G 
And I painted all these pictures of Earth but that's unusual 
 Am         G 
Unusual to you 


Verse 

Em                D 
Met at a seminar, shared the same table 
Em                        D                      G       D 
Brushed by you at the bar, didn't match your description 
D                  G        D 
Soon became my prescription 

Em                     D 
I think of the junipers in the spring growing 
Em                D                     G      D 
Fall up on Jupiter, it doesn't draw a reaction 
D             G       D 
Temporary distraction 


         C                  D         C              Bm 
And I've waited for you out here, but that may be delusional 
      C                     D       C                  G 
And I painted all these pictures of Earth but that's unusual 
Am         G 
Unusual to you 
Am         G      C          G 
Unusual, unusual, unusual to you 


Solo:  Em D# G C Bm Em Am C Em D# 


      C             D          C              Bm 
And I waited for forever, and that was just delusional 
      C                  Bm         Am                G 
So I painted all these pictures of Earth but that's unusual 
  Am        G        Am       G  
Unusual, unusual, unusual to you
