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
