I wish I was a comet

Burning up into the night

I wish I was a comet
D
But I’m just a satellite
Bm C#m D E
Ahh
Bm C#m D E
Ahh

[Verse 1]
F#m E
I don’t like the limelight
D
So we don’t hold hands in daylight
F#m E
I still drag the closet
D
All my limbs, they ache inside
F#m E D
And surely, all my family and my friends
F#m
My god and my ends
E D
They cannot all be wrong
So I play along

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m E
We refrain from touch
D
We are satellites (Da dada dada da)
F#m E
In a cosmic dance
D
Amongst the northern lights (Da dada dada da)
Bm A
And we orbit fast
D E
But I wish we could collide
Bm A
I’m sick of concealing
D
I’m sick of the feeling
E
I no longer want to hide

[Chorus]
F#m E D
‘Cause I think it could be love
(Yeah I think it could be love)
F#m E D
But I can’t show you enough
(But I can’t show you enough)
A Bm
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
C#m D E
Soar like a meteor tonight
F#m E D
‘Cause I think it could be love
(Yeah I think it could be love)
F#m E D
But I can’t show you enough
(But I can’t show you enough)
A Bm
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
C#m D E
Soar like a meteor tonight

[Verse 2]
F#m E
This gravity between us
D
Someone bring me down to land
F#m E
And write a prayer to Venus
D
What is life without affection

[Bridge]
F#m E
Now online they discuss:
D
Whether I exist
F#m E
And in the court they decide
D
Who I can kiss
F#m E
Now online they discuss
D
Whether I exist
F#m E
And in the court they decide
D
Who I can kiss
