R.E.M.

Tom: C

Em       Bm             A           G 
Easy to poke yourself square in the eye 
Em       Bm             A           G  
Harder to like yourself, harder to try 
Em         Bm  
These are espouses 
  A            G 
Postcards and neoprene 
 Em      Bm       A     G  
Roses a dollar a stem  
 Em         Bm          A           G 
Everyone's sleeping or pulling the long haul and  
 Em          Bm         A          G 
Keys in the cooler its three A.M.  
 
    Em         Bm       Em 
And Saturn is beckoning no one 
     A          Em  
It's off on its own 
     A        F  
It's offering up  
 
Late shift can bring in store, burn out the lights  
Telescope roof towards the northwestern sky  
You pulled the ladder and no one's the wiser  
You find your sights and discover  
 
Saturn is orbiting nothing  
He's off on its own  
He's breaking from home  
 
G          F             G            F 
Harder to look yourself square in the eye  
G         F       Em 
Easy to take off  
 
You found the ladder in the pattern of your wrist  
You've seen and you've marked horizons  
Mother was difficult, she made you cry  
Cover the mirror, look to the sky  
You climbed into your rocketship trying  
Lift up and hold out your hands  
 
Saturn is orbiting nothing  
He's off on its own  
He's breaking from home  
 
Saturn is orbiting nothing  
He's off on its own  
He's breaking from home  
 
Saturn returns when you chase down, it slows  
Throw them into a new gravity  
Harder to look yourself square in the eye  
Easy to poke yourself, easy as pie  
Easy to take off, harder to fly  
Harder to wake Galileo
