Verse: guitar 1 plays the A D progression with the same
rhythmic feel as in the intro (without the G)
A D
Gonna get back to basics
Guess I`ll start it up again
I`m fallin` from the ceiling
* <- Gtr. 2 enters w/ wah, plays fill 1
You`re falling from the sky now and then

>From this point on, throughout the verses, gtr. 2 plays this
over the A D progression:
|--------------|-----------|

Maybe you were shot down in pieces
Maybe I slipped in between
But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see
Just you and me
Guitar 1 plays A D twice more, while guitar 2 plays this:

Chorus:
E D E D
So why`d you come home to this sleepless town
It`s a lifetime commitment
Recovering the satellites
All anybody really wants to know is...
when you gonna come down
Fill 3, played by gtr 2, while gtr. 1 plays A D

Your mother recognizes all your desperate displays
and she watches as her babies drift violently away
* (guitar 2 adds the part below, and then the second half of fill 2)
`til they see themselves in telescopes
Do you see yourself in me?
We`re such crazy babies, little monkey
We`re so fucked up, you and me
Guitar 2 adds this over the verse

So why`d you come home to this faithless town
Where we make a lifetime commitment
to recovering the satellites
and all anybody really wants to know is...
when are you gonna come down
Bridge: (Guitars 1&2 continue to play A D)
She sees shooting stars and comet tails
She`s got heaven in her eyes
She says I don`t need to be an angel
But I`m nothing if I`m not this high
We only stay in orbit
For a moment of time
And then you`re everybody`s satellite
I wish that you were mine (Gtr. 2 only plays last half of fill 2)
So why`d you come home to this angel`s town
Well it`s a lifetime`s decision
Recovering the satellites
and all anybody really knows for sure is...
that you`re gonna come down
