Andrew Mcmahon - Synesthesia Chords

D
I saw pictures from the space shuttle;
                 G
North America at night.
        D
I could almost see my house,
                                  G
I could almost see the rest of my life.
       D/F#                                              G
Now my mothers in the hospital and my friends are in the news,
                            Bm
Collecting trophies for the songs they wrote,
    G                 A             D
When we lived in the shadow of the moon.

        D                                              G
Guess I never made a gold record and Ive never been to Mars,
         D                                                       G
But Ive traveled round this world shooting fireworks at falling stars (and prison bars)
        D/F#                                                 G
And my fathers got a decent job, I hear hes finally pulling through,
                                 Bm                  G              A             D  Dsus2   D
Theres more to life than singing songs we write when we are in the shadow of the moon

(CHORUS)
          Bm            G          D      A
And I see colors when I hear your voice,
          Bm                     G          D      A
Grab your wings, theyre putting gravity on trial
       Bm     G             D     A               
I see colors, I dont hear the noise,
                 Bm   A          G                   
 because were only flying for awhile,
              Bm   A          G     
 because were only flying for awhile

 
            D                                                  G
I saw this picture of my niece twisting high above the narrow beam.
        D                                                        G
And my brother looked so proud, like he woke up in this perfect dream.
        D/F                                                     G
And Ive known you all my life, but I knew you long before that too.
                        Bm                 G                 A              D  Dsus2  D
Lets go dancing to the songs we wrote when we lived in the shadow of the moon

          Bm            G       D      A
And I see colors when I hear your voice
            Bm                    G       D      A
Grab your wings, theyre putting gravity on trial
          Bm        G         D    A              Bm        A        G
I see colors, I dont hear the noise, sometimes were only flying for awhile
       Bm              G         D    A
I could love you in the falling rain,
            Bm                G                 D     A
Grab your things, this is a storm were meant to ride
            Bm            G           D   A                Bm    A           G       Bm     A        G
Like synesthesia, aboard a stalling plane, its like were only flying for awhile, flying for awhile
         Bm             G         D     A
And I see colors when I hear your voice
           Bm                    G         D     A  
Grab your wings, theyre putting gravity on trial
        Bm           G          D    A                Bm     A        G
I see colors, I dont fear the choice, sometimes were only flying for awhile
            Bm               G      D   A
And I could love you in the falling rain,
          Bm                 G                   D    A
Grab your things, this is a storm were meant to ride
           Bm             G         D    A               Bm    A           G         Bm     A        G
Like synesthesia, aboard a stalling plane, its like were only flying for awhile, flying for awhile
