Spaceman (video)

C - Am - C - F - Dm - Am - Em - G

C

1. It started with a low light,

G

next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed,

Am

and then they took my blood type,

G C

they left a strange impression in my head.

C

You know that I was hopin’

G

that I could leave this star crossed world behind,

Am - G

but when they cut me open, I guess I changed my mind.

F G Am Em F G

And you know I might have just flown too far from the floor this time,

Am Em

‘cause they’re calling me by my name.

F

And they’re zipping white line beams,

G E Am

disregarding bombs and satellites,

G - G7

that was the turning point, that was one lonely night.

C Am

The star maker says it ain’t so bad,

C F

the dream maker’s gonna make you mad,

Dm Am - Em G

the spaceman says : Everybody look down, it’s all in your mind.

C

2. Well, now I’m back at home,

G

and I’m looking forward to this life I live,

Am

you know it’s gonna haunt me,

G C

so hesitation to this life I give.

C

You think you might cross over,

G

you’re caught between the devil and the deep blue sea,

Am - F G

you better look it over, before you make that leap.

F G Am Em F G

And you know I’m fine, but I hear those voices at night sometimes

Am E

that justify my claim.

F G

And the public don’t dwell on my transmission

E Am

‘cause it wasn’t televised,

Dm - G

but it was the turning point, oh, what a lonely night.

C Am

The star maker says it ain’t so bad,

C F

the dream maker’s gonna make you mad,

Dm Am - Em G

the spaceman says : Everybody look down, it’s all in your mind.

+ repeat CHORUS + Am - F - C - G (2x)

Am

+ My global position systems are vocally addressed,

G

they say the Nile used to run from East to West.

Am F - G F

They say the Nile used to run from East to West.

E Am G C Dm - F - G

I’m fine but I hear those voices at night sometimes.

C Am

The star maker says it ain’t so bad,

C F

the dream maker’s gonna make you mad,

Dm Am - Em G

the spaceman says : Everybody look down, it’s all in your mind.
