 +Intro:  Dm
 +
 +            Dm                           A  
 +when we hid out behind the risers at the high school,
 +         G                          Dm
 +working bitter calculations with a slide rule.
 +             Dm                         A
 +the grim particulars of poisoning the swimming pool,
 +G                          A
 +well you looked me in the eye,
 +         Dm      G
 +ready to die.
 +Dm                       A
 +we were becoming what we are,
 +             Dm
 +collapsing stars.
 +
 +         Dm                             A  
 +when we chewed up pseudoephedrine like bubble gum,
 +         G                                      Dm
 +til our hearts were beating as deep and rich as kettle drums
 +        Dm                            A  
 +we knew if we waited long enough the change would come.
 +             G                   A
 +and then the day did come and at last
 +     Dm          G
 +hold tight. hold fast.
 +Dm                   A
 +catch lightning in a jar,
 +             Dm
 +collapsing stars. 
 +
 +G                          Dm
 +I told you to load up on provisions,
 +       G                         Dm
 +because we wouldn't be back for a while.
 +G                             Dm
 +pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
 +G                          A
 +turn toward the camera and smile, smile, smile.
 +
 +         Dm                         A  
 +when we ditched the plan to poison all our enemies,
 +         G                                      Dm
 +stuffed our weapons in a clearing, and covered them with leaves,
 +         Dm                         A  
 +we are going to come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves
 +             G                   A
 +one day, and we are on our way.
 +     Dm          G
 +you can look, but you won't find
 +Dm                   A
 +another love like ours,
 +             Dm
 +collapsing stars.
 + 
 +Outro:  Dm A G Dm (x3),  Dm A Dm
