Verse 1
G I look exhausted
D C Oh, stiff and awkward on the outside of the moment
GIt's not my first time bitter, drunk on a red carpet
D C Or my first time losing, and it won't be my last
G D You said, "Ignore it.
COh, California is so much more than some awards show
G DYou're no more important than an insect on a window..
CThey'll see you climbing, but won't care until you get close"
Pre-Chorus
DYou said some people don't know why they're wolves
GThey just howl for the sound of it
CSome will never know they're beautiful
Until the crowd points it out for them
DBut I see you through a camera flash
GI look back and you laugh
CAnd this is hard, but I feel less far
Chorus
G D/F#This ain't Watertown, I'm on alien ground
Em DI'm a college kid with my windows down
C DI'm an astronaut, you're the Moon
Em DI stare at you, I sing to you
CI circle you
Verse 2
G D/F# Rain on a steel roof leaks through the ceiling
CHits the patrons in the ballroom
GYou said, "Oh, look, babe, even God is trying to warn you
D/F# All this ain't for you"
C But I cling to my seat
Pre-Chorus
DI guess some people don't know why they're wolves
GThey just howl for the sound of it
CSome will never know they're beautiful
Until the crowd points it out for them
DBut I see you through a camera flash
GI look back and you laugh
CAnd this is hard, but I feel less far
Chorus
G D/F#This ain't Watertown, I'm on alien ground
Em DI'm a college kid with my windows down
C DI'm an astronaut, you're the Moon
Em DI stare at you, I sing to you
Verse 3
G D/F#And I clutch my cloth, and I bite my tongue
Em DI'm an aging wolf who lost the taste for blood
C DEven anxious pups need the Moon
Em GI howl for you, I sing to you
Bridge
C Em DI circle you. .
C Em DI circle you. .
C Em DI circle you. .
