Cassiopeia

cassiopeia by sara bareilles from the album the blessed unrest capo on the 6th fret C C come in close now , it’s time to tell a story C C long ago and so many years before we Dm Dm ever were , ever dreamed we even could be Em G G there was her and her very first heartbeat C C all alone in the corner of the night sky C C spiral bones of a supernova starlight Dm Dm fell in love with another burning bright Em G she dreamed of a way to ignite C C Dm she said , "tonight , come on , come on , collide G break me to pieces , i , i think you’re just like heaven C C Dm why , come on , come on , collide Dm G let’s see what a fire feels like G i bet it’s just like heaven" C ( just like heaven ) C ( just like heaven ) C C such a shame , nowhere near , even a near miss C C light years away from the hope of being sun - kissed Dm Dm anchored home in her interstellar sea Em G but , poor lonely cassiopeia C C so she sighs and she burns with desperation C C learns to cry over love of constellations Dm Dm then the spark from a star shooting too close Em G they both smiled , what a day to explode C C Dm she said , "tonight , come on , come on , collide G break me to pieces , i , i think you’re just like heaven C C Dm why , come on , come on , collide Dm G let’s see what a fire feels like G i bet it’s just like heaven" C ( just like heaven ) C ( just like heaven ) C C long ago in a sky built before us C C a supernova grew up to be stardust
