This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

LYRICS:

i stand out in the rain,

im immersed in all my vain,

the thunder's the only sound,

not a single shadow all around,

but i see her standing there,

hovering in the air,

and she...

she just holds me,

im so lonely,

she wrappes her arms around me tight,

i keep her grip with all my might,

my face pressed against her neck,

she must be here to protect,

and she just holds me...

she's dressed like a star,

her whispers heard from afar,

she is a human Goddess under the moonlight,

she surpresses every satellite,

God i hope she is a sign,

that will wake me from sleeping on this landmine,

and she...

she inhabitates me...
