from the album The Blessed Unrest

Capo on the 6th fret 

C                        CCome in close now, it's time to tell a story
C                CLong ago and so many years before we
Dm               DmEver were, ever dreamed we even could be
Em        G            G    There was her and her very first heartbeat
C                  CAll alone in the corner of the night sky
C                  CSpiral bones of a supernova starlight
Dm                 DmFell in love with another burning bright
     Em      G She dreamed of a way to ignite

           C          C                   DmShe said, "Tonight, come on, come on, collide
                    GBreak me to pieces, I, I think you're just like heaven
 C    C                    DmWhy, come on, come on,  collide
      Dm                     GLet's see what a fire feels like
            GI bet it's just like heaven"
C(Just like heaven)
C(Just like heaven)

C                      CSuch a shame, nowhere near, even a near miss
C                          CLight years away from the hope of being sun-kissed
Dm                    DmAnchored home in her interstellar sea
      Em   GBut, poor lonely Cassiopeia
C                     CSo she sighs and she burns with desperation
C                   CLearns to cry over love of constellations
Dm                     DmThen the spark from a star shooting too close
      Em    GThey both smiled, what a day to explode
           C          C                   DmShe said, "Tonight, come on, come on, collide
                    GBreak me to pieces, I, I think you're just like heaven
 C    C                    DmWhy, come on, come on,  collide
      Dm                     GLet's see what a fire feels like
            GI bet it's just like heaven"
C(Just like heaven)
C(Just like heaven)

C              CLong ago in a sky built before us
   C             CA supernova grew up to be stardust
