A#                           D#
I've been running around in circles
A#                D#
Pretending to be myself
A#                         D#
Why would somebody do this on purpose
A#                           D#
When they could do something else?
Gm7       F        D#
Drowning out the morning birds
         A#               F        D#
With the same three songs over and over
          A#              F            D#
I wish I wrote it, but I didn't so I learn the words
      A#                      F     D#
Hum along 'til the feeling's gone forever

Chorus:
        D#      A#       F
Took a tour to see the stars
                        D#
But they weren't out tonight
            D#         A#           F
So I wished hard on a Chinese satellite
   D#       A#   F
I want to believe
D#                     Gm              A# 
Instead I look at the sky and I feel nothing
D#          A#          F
You know I hate to be alone
               D#
I want to be wrong

You were screamin' at the Evangelicals
They were screamin' right back from what I remember
When you said I will never be your vegetable
Because I think when you're gone, it's forever
But you know I'd stand on the corner
Embarrassed with a picket sign
If it meant I would see you when I die

Chorus:
Sometimes, when I can't sleep
It's just a matter of time before I'm hearing things
Swore I could feel you through the walls
But that's impossible
I want to believe
That if I go outside I'll see a tractor beam
Coming to take me to where I'm from
I want to go home
