Astronaut Uke tab by Port Cities

Bm C D

G                              Bm
All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
C                                    D
Before the so-called life got in the way
G                            Bm
Eight miles high, I turn the light switch on
     C                               D
And laugh at all the games I used to play

      Em
But I had a dream when I was seven
B
Secret door at the back of heaven
G                             A
I woke up the second I walked in

C                                   D
And over time the dream got old and faded
C                                 D
And everything just gets so complicated

  G                                  Bm
I watched them send the rocket up in Florida
C                               D
And everybody cheered and waved goodbye
  G                            Bm
I imagined it was me up in the captains chair
C                       D
Leaving laws of gravity behind

        Em
Now the weight is heavy on my shoulders
B
Nine to five, I'm getting older
G                                   A
Truth be told, it really ain't that bad
    C                               D
And over time the dream got old and faded
    C                             D
And everything just gets so complicated

G Bm C D G Bm C D

G                                   Bm
Well all I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
  C                                       D
I guess it's a little late for that right now
      G                            Bm
And I get up every morning just to punch the clock
    C                             D
And take the number 80 bus 'cross town

       Em
Well I try my best not to regret it
B
Most of the time I just forget it
G                               A
Maybe another place, some other time
      C                               D
Cause after all the dream got old and faded
    C                             D
And everything just gets so complicated
    G                               Bm       C D G
But all I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
