Satellite
from Spike
tabbed by ah-HA! Pronoun trouble <MELINDA@delphi.com>
[intro] Em C#m A B
She looked like she learned to dance
>From a series of still pictures
She's madly excited now
She throws her hands up like a tulip
G#7/B#
B G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B -----------
She looks like an illustration of a cocktail party | | 1 1 1 |
| | | | | 2
| 3 | | | |
G#m G#7/B#
Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air
C#m F#7/A# B A
Champagne rolls off her tongue like a second language
F#7/A#
B E --x--------
And it should have been her biggest night | | 1 | | |
| | | | 2 |
3 | | 3 | |
A F# B B7/D# E
The satellite looks down on her as she begins to cry
B7/D#
tacet C#m A -----------
All over the world at the very same time | | 1 | | |
| | | 2 | 2
| | | | | |
B B7/D# E
People sharing the same sorrow
As the satellite looks down
Her darkest hour is somebody's bright tomorrow
He pulled on a cigarette in the crook of his first finger
Felt the static electric charge of her perfect hourglass figure
B G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B
As he undressed her with his eyes her weakness was his talent
G#m G#7/B# C#m
How could she know as she stepped through the lights
F#7/A# B A
That her dress would become transparent
And with his face pressed to the screen
A F# B B7/D# E
He muttered words he'd never dare to say if she could see him
tacet C#m A
All over the world at the very same time
B B7/D# E
People sharing the same cheap sensation
The thrill of watching somebody watching
Those forbidden things we never mention
chorus
The satellite looks down right now and forever
What it has pulled apart, let no man tether
His own body to his dream, his dream to someone else
Oh no, oh no
She went back to her pitiful compromise, he'd go back to his family
But for the matter of a thousand miles that separated them entirely
B G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B
In the hot unloving spotlight with the secrets it arouses
G#m G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B A
Now they both know what it's like inside a pornographer's trousers
And in a funny way it's anonymous
A F# B B7/D# E C#m
The satellite, it blesses us and makes these dreams come true
All over the world at the very same time
All over the world
chorus
[last 2 chords are B7 and Dsus2, which is a regular D with the E open]
