[Verse 1]
 
F                                 C
I've locked myself in a hotel room
F                               C
Then waited all night for the walls to move
F                               C
I've loved some girls that I barely knew
F                               C
I've made some friends, and I've lost some too
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Crashed my car, I was seventeen
My mother in the seat riding next to me
The things I've learned from a broken mirror
How a face can change when a heart knows fear
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 
Am
For all the things my eyes have seen, 
F
The best by far is you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            C                   Am
If I could fly, then I would know
                        F                                       C
What life looks like from up above and down below
                Am                   C
I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry
             F                          C
Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
                   C
And you're the sky
 
 
[Bridge]
 
F C G C
Oh, Oh
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
I've café crawled through Amsterdam
Been around the world with a punk rock band
And I've seen London, and I've played Japan
I've been knocked down, I got up again
 
 
[Pre Chorus 2]
 
Am
For all the places I have been, 
F
I'm no place without you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            C                   Am
If I could fly, then I would know
                        F                                       C
What life looks like from up above and down below
                Am                   C
I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry
             F                          C
Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
                   C
And you're the sky
 
 
[Bridge]
 
F C G C
Oh, Oh
I'm the satellite (Oh, Oh)
And you're the sky
 
 
[Pre Chorus]
 
Am
For all the things my hands have held, 
F
The best by far is you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            C                   Am
If I could fly, then I would know
                        F                                       C
What life looks like from up above and down below
                Am                   C
I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry
             F                          C
Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
                   C
And you're the sky
 
 
[Outro]
 
And you're the sky
And you're the sky
I'm the satellite
And you're the sky
And you're the sky

In the pre-chorus, instead of an Am, use a Dm In the chorus the line: I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry should be the chords G and Am, not Am and C And the bridge should end with an Am, not a C Fix all of that and you've got a 5 star tab, very good!

Also, for "I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry," the Am and C should be switched to G Am and the last C of the bridge should be an Am.

I had to edit this song quite a bit. I'd recommend using Dm and G for the bridge.
