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
