[Verse 1]
G#m         E            D#m
  I saw what you emanate
G#m         E
  I held my hand to take
G#m          F#        D#m F#
  A piece of it with me
G#m                  Em
  Passed through me like gamma rays
G#m            E          D#
  It burned my soul to see
              F#
A thing with such beauty


[Chorus]
G#m         E
Stratosphere
D#m               F#
Floating in your stare
        G#m          E
Take me far from here
         D#m       F#
Are you even there?
    G#m             E
I miss the way you felt to breathe
        D#m              F#
And it fills me with despair
    G#m         E
Oh, stratosphere
     D#m                 F#
You fill my lungs and take away the air

G#m E D#m D#m


[Verse 2]
G#m          E                  D#m F#
  I climb to where the sky fades
G#m          E          G#m     F#
  Till I'm a castaway, till I asphyxiate
G#m             E                 D#m F#
  I caught your eyes, bird of prey
G#m              E       D#m       F#
  And I can’t cauterize the open wound you made


[Chorus]
G#m         E
Stratosphere
D#m               F#
Floating in your stare
        G#m          E
Take me far from here
         D#m       F#
Are you even there?
    G#m             E
I miss the way you felt to breathe
        D#m              F#
And it fills me with despair
    G#m         E
Oh, stratosphere
     D#m                 F#
You fill my lungs and take away the air

Floating in your stare

Take me far from here

Are you even there?
    G#m             E
I miss the way you felt to breathe
        D#m              F#
And it fills me with despair

Oh, stratosphere

You fill my lungs and take away the air

You fill my lungs and take away the air

You fill my lungs and take away the air
