Satellite
from Spike
tabbed by ah-HA! Pronoun trouble
[intro] Em Cm A B
E Cm
She looked like she learned to dance
B A
>From a series of still pictures
E Cm
She`s madly excited now
B A
She throws her hands up like a tulip
G7/B
B G7/B Cm F7/A B -----------
She looks like an illustration of a cocktail party | | 1 1 1 |
| | | | | 2
| 3 | | | |
Gm G7/B
Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air
Cm F7/A B A
Champagne rolls off her tongue like a second language
F7/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 Cm A -----------
All over the world at the very same time | | 1 | | |
| | | 2 | 2
| | | | | |
B B7/D E
People sharing the same sorrow
Cm A
As the satellite looks down
B A B7
Her darkest hour is somebody`s bright tomorrow
E Cm B A
He pulled on a cigarette in the crook of his first finger
E Cm B A
Felt the static electric charge of her perfect hourglass figure
B G7/B Cm F7/A B
As he undressed her with his eyes her weakness was his talent
Gm G7/B Cm
How could she know as she stepped through the lights
F7/A B A
That her dress would become transparent
B E
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 Cm A
All over the world at the very same time
B B7/D E
People sharing the same cheap sensation
C A
The thrill of watching somebody watching
B A B7
Those forbidden things we never mention
[chorus]
E Cm7 A B7 E
The satellite looks down right now and forever
Cm7 A B7
What it has pulled apart, let no man tether
Gm F Fm
His own body to his dream, his dream to someone else
B B7
Oh no, oh no
E Cm B A
She went back to her pitiful compromise, he`d go back to his family
E Cm B A
But for the matter of a thousand miles that separated them entirely
B G7/B Cm F7/A B
In the hot unloving spotlight with the secrets it arouses
Gm G7/B Cm F7/A B A
Now they both know what it`s like inside a pornographer`s trousers
B E
And in a funny way it`s anonymous
A F B B7/D E Cm
The satellite, it blesses us and makes these dreams come true
A Cm A
All over the world at the very same time
Cm
All over the world
[chorus]
[last 2 chords are B7 and Dsus2, which is a regular D with the E open]
