A E D I'm alone above the atmosphere A E And no one looking up can find me here F#m D Cause I can close my eyes, and disappear A E D When I climb the stairs to watch the sun A E Above station walls, the colors run F#m D To fill the swimming pool when I am done E F#m A/C# I am the captain of an oil tanker that travels D E through your veins When the satellites hang all around And I can finally hear the lovely sound When all the engines in the backroom die down All the airships move across the sky And my equipment just keeps standing by The planets glow and intensify I am the pilot of a cargo airplane that travels through your veins Chorus: Bm A E When you are lying half asleep in your room Bm A E Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon Bm A E Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell Bm A E It could be raining but then you can never tell Bm A E If you're alone in this awful downpour Bm A E Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door In the evening light, the boulevard Conceals the night with disregard For all the workers in the West coast shipyard When I rearrange the silverware And re-install the lights in captain's chair I'll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air I am the engineer of forty freight trains that travel through your veins Chorus: When you are lying half asleep in your room Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell It could be raining, but then you can never tell If you're awake in this awful downpour Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door When you are swimming in Miami at night I'm all around you in the traffic and city light You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  C#  D  E  F#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
