F Bb Gm C


[Verse 1]
F         Bb
My shadow stretched before me
F          Bb
Footprints behind
Gm             C
I breach these virgin beaches
Gm                C
For the first and last time

F          Bb
Though I'm assigned a mission
F            Bb
I brought my own
Gm            C
To change the disposition
Gm            C
Of the girl I left home


[Chorus 1]
Bb        F
One small step for
Am          Dm
The man she wept for
Bb      F           C
A giant way to make amends

    Bb     F
And if she questions
Am      Dm
My best intentions
Bb              F           C
I'll leave this monument to stand
   Bb   F  Gm   F  Bb          F
By tracing Tracy's name in the sand


[Verse 2]
F          Bb
I read the news of losing
F             Bb
The wings we'd won
Gm          C
Our wax and feathers melted
Gm           C
Too near the sun

F            Bb
They came to claim my white suit
F            Bb
So I shed my skin
Gm            C
I brushed the stars from my boots
Gm              C
And turned them in


[Chorus 2]
Bb      F
No more steps toward
Am          Dm
What I once leapt for
Bb             F       C
I'm trapped by gravity again

    Bb    F         Am   Dm
And if my quest was ever questioned
Bb       F           C
I left a monument to stand
   Bb   F  Gm   F  Bb
By tracing Tracy's name
   Bb   F  Gm   F  Bb
By tracing Tracy's name
   Bb   F  Gm   F  Bb
By tracing Tracy's name
       F
In the sand
