[Intro]
| Em    | Em     | Em     | A      |
| Em    | Em     | Em     | A      |
| Em    | Em     | Em     | A      |
 
 
[Verse 1]
                       Em                       Em
I was listening to the first grace notes of the day play
                Em                      A
The sun kept on rising ‘til it floated away
                 Em                     Em
Gone to join the bright side, needed to count in
               Em                            A
Controlled demolitions, the path through the mountain
             Em                             Em
Did I see it right, can't believe where the day went
            Em                 A
Gone like a mic drop, tired of waitin'
               Em                        Em
Want to start again, need to think up an alias
                  Em                        A
You sleep in your clothes now, it makes you feel safe
 
 
[Chorus]
                        Em                     A
Now you're clearing the room just like Pontius Pilate
                       Em
When he showed all his home movies
           A                            D      D
All of his friends yelling "Pilate! Too soon!"
 
 
[Verse 2]
                   Em                  Em
Came out the other side some kind of agnostic
           Em                                  A
Keeping a straight face, but at some point you lost it
                Em                   Em
A painting of a wasteland, beautiful I guess
                Em                         A
But I only like art when it's changing the subject
                 Em                       Em
Listening to the first grace notes of the day play
                Em                      A
The sun kept on rising 'til it floated away
               Em                     Em
Spun out of control, you recover and steer through
        Em                            A
Into controlled slide, it's just what you do
 
 
[Chorus]
                        Em                     A
Now you're clearing the room just like Pontius Pilate
                       Em
When he showed all his home movies
           A                            D      D
All of his friends yelling "Pilate! Too soon!"
 
 
[Refrain]
     D                       Cmaj7
So I got you a map to find a home in the stars
  G/B
I hope you get there
D                       Cmaj7
Got you a map to find a home in the stars
  G                 D     D
I hope you get there
 
 
[Instrumental]
| Em    | Em     | Em     | A      |
| Em    | Em     | Em     | A      |
 
 
[Verse 3]
                   Em                         Em
You want to start again but you need to count in though
             Em                        A
On three, we burst through the Overton window
                       Em                 Em
And fall through the kaleidoscope of your mentions
                 Em                          A
You're buried in daydream, you think it's an entrance
 
 
[Chorus]
                        Em                     A
Now you're clearing the room just like Pontius Pilate
                       Em
When he showed all his home movies
           A                            D      D
All of his friends yelling "Pilate! Too soon!"
 
 
[Refrain]
     D                       Cmaj7
So I got you a map to find a home in the stars
  G/B
I hope you get there
D                       Cmaj7
Got you a map to find a home in the stars
  G                 D     D
I hope you get there

[Outro]
                 Em                       Em
Listening to the first grace notes of the day play
                Em                      A     Em
The sun kept on rising 'til it floated away
Em                Em                     A
 The sun kept on rising 'til it floated away
Em                                       A
 The sun kept on rising 'til it floated away
