Intro:
Am7 - D2 (x4)


Verse 1:
Am7                 D2              Am7           D2
 Iīve watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
Am7                  D2        Am7  D2
All the sights that I have seen
Am7        D2             Am7                   D2
 I can't believe that I believed I wished that you could see
Am7                         D2
There's a new planet in the solar system
Am7               D2
There is nothing up my sleeve


Pre-chorus:
C    C/B         Am
 I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
C    C/B         Am
 I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
C        C/B         Am
 Over my shoulder a piano falls
G
Crashing to the ground



Verse 2:
Am7            D2           Am7         D2
 And all this talk of time, talk is fine
    Am7             D2         Am7  D2
And I donīt want to stay around
Am7            D2             Am7                  D2
 Why canīt we pantomime, just close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams
Am7              D2              Am7  D2
Being here with wings on our feet


Pre-chorus:
C    C/B         Am
 I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
C    C/B         Am
 I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
C        C/B         Am
 Over my shoulder a piano falls
G
Crashing to the ground


Chorus:
Am   C        G            D          Am
 I'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons
    C       G                  Am
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
    C           G                D        C
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond


Am7 - D2 (x4)


Verse 3:
            Am7               D2
I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
  Am7              D2
Sweetest dreams of you
    Am7             D2
And look into the stars
    Am7            D2
And look into the moon

 Over my shoulder a piano falls
