[Verse 1]
A
Concorde, this organ,
     D
the new one I’m formin’
       A  A/B  A/C#
It’s grown so persistent
    D
on you by the morning
   A
I fell to my feet and
     D
the doctor said,
           A  A/B  A/C#
'We are unfortunately
 D                          A    D
Running out of options to treat'
             A  A/B  A/C#   D
What a funny way to speak

[Chorus]
     A        D
And you like Concorde
A  A/B  A/C#  D
I became a   gentle hill racer
       A                     D
I was breathless upon every mountain
                       F#m    D
Just to look for your light
A D
A A/B A/C# D

[Verse 2]
A
Concorde, I miss you,
       D
don’t text me ‘til winter
       A  A/B  A/C#           D
I can hardly afford a second summer
of splinters
      A                        D
This staircase, it leads only to
                      A  A/B  A/C#
some old pictures of you
             D
Through an a thousand
         A     D
mile long tube
                     A  A/B  A/C# D
Hey, what’s a city boy to do?

[Chorus]
A             D
And you like Concorde
A  A/B  A/C#  D
I became a   gentle hill racer
       A
I was breathless
            D
upon every mountain
                       F#m    D
Just to look for your light

[Post-Chorus]
                     A      D
But, for less than a moment
                    A  A/B  A/C# D
We share the same sky
                     A     D
And then Isaac will suffer
          F#m      D
Concorde will fly
A D
A A/B A/C# D
A D
F#m D

[Verse 3]
A
Concorde, we're old now,
      D
you wield a lightsaber
    A A/B A/C#              D
And led by the dark to our place
on the table
           A
So, don't tell me you're hungry
         D
'Cause, darling,
                A A/B A/C#
I'm starving myself
       D
And I heard you're on Atkins,
       A D
as well
                      A
I was made to love you,
A/B A/C#        D
can't you tell?

[Outro]
     A        D
And you like Concorde
A A/B A/C#  D
I became a light blue sleeper
       A            D
And I laid dead or twitchin'
                A A/B A/C# D
for most of the night
                           A    D
But I know that you'll be there
               A A/B A/C# D
The sandman inside
                          A   D
And I'll come to like a child
             F#m    D
Concorde and I die free this time
A Bm7
A A/B A/C# D
A Bm7
F#m D
