G 
The night sky once ruled my imagination. 
Now I turn the dials with careful calculation. 
C                                  D 
After a while, I thought I’d never find you. 
C                                     D 
I convinced myself that I would never find you, 
                G 
When suddenly I saw you. 

G 

G 
At first I thought you were a constellation. 

I made a map of your stars, then I had a revelation: 
                       C 
You’re as beautiful as endless, 
                    D 
You’re the universe I’m helpless in. 
              C 
An astronomer at my best 
                      D 
When I throw away the measurements. 

       C 
Like a telescope, 
       D 
I will pull you so close 
     C                D 
'til no space lies in between. 
               G 
And suddenly I see you. 
Suddenly I see you. 

G 

                       C  
I was a billion little pieces 
                        D 
'til you pulled me into focus. 
             C 
Astronomy in reverse, 
                  D 
It was me who was discovered. 
       C 
Like a telescope, 
       D 
I will pull you so close, 
        C             D 
'til no space lies in between.   <--- play this whole part x3
