R.E.M. - Saturn Returns
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
Repeat chords for remaining verses
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
