[Verse 1]
                              C
That’s just something people say
                       G
When they’re on their last leg and
            F                      Am
They need someone to say something to help them cope
     F                        G
Or someone to say something hopeful
                 C
“I hope you’re okay”
                                  G
But that's just something people say
          F                    Am
And if I meant every word that I ever said
            F                     Am
You would probably question the life I have led
        F                   Am     G
You’d probably think I’m an evil, broken
 
  F
person
                  G
And you would be right
 
 
[Chorus]
        C                   G
Because I went downhill at such steep incline
      F                           Am
That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
    G                       F
And I laughed about it all night
             C                 Am
And I said “Hey man, isn’t it poetic
          G              Am
That the sky is what we leave behind?”
                F
Because I was born into the world on a
   C
silken cloud
           F                           G
And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Am                 G       Am     F
And you’re the one who taught me to be brave
      Am            F              C
I’ve never spent a moment loving anyone but
 G
you
                  F
And maybe that’s just something that people
C
say
       Am            G              C
But I hope that you know it’s the truth
 
 
[Chorus]
        C                        G
Because I went downhill at such steep incline
     F                            Am
That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
    G                       F
And I laughed about it all night
 
 
[Verse 3]
         C
Because you were the first one to show me the stars
                Am
And they don’t mean much to me, but I still wonder where you are
  F                           Am
Some nights, I still try to find you
   F               C
relative to constellations
           F                     C
All your relatives are still on vacation, or
    G
so I heard from a friend
         Am        G       Am
Does it mean anything that you stayed in
F
town?
 
Probably not
 
 
[Chorus]
 C                        G
I went downhill at such steep incline
     F                             Am
That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
     G                      F
And I laughed about it all night
            C                   Am
And I said “Hey man, isn’t it poetic
          G              Am
That the sky is what we leave behind?”
               F
Because I was born into the world on a
 C
silken cloud
           F                          G
And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
  C                  Am
“Hey man, isn’t it poetic
          G               Am
That the sky is what we leave behind?”
               F
Because I was born into the world on a
 C
silken cloud
           F                           G
And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
 
C
