[E] [B] [E]
[B] [G#] [F#]
[E] [B] All [E] these words [G#m] tread [F#] over cracks [E] in the sidewalks [B] of [E] town.
One [G#m] year, [F#] I'm distantly [E] distressed.
[G#] [F#] I'm finally [E]
coming close to [G#] ghost.
[F#] I'm dancing [E]
on your gravest [F#] worst.
I'm [G#] toasting [E] all the coldest stairs, [F#] all the [E] loneliest of [F#] eyes.
[B] I am [E]
a satellite, [G#m] never [F#] getting [E] signals right.
You [B] [E] are a [G#m] constellation, [F#] I can barely [E] make you out tonight.
[G#m] [F#] Flashing [E] lights, [F#] alternating [B] colors.

[E] [B] I [E] cut and paint these [F#m] sections of maps into [E] my days.
Sunspots, almost feverish.
[G#m] [F#m] Can you feel [E] me shivering?
[G#m] [F#] I'm finally [E]
breaking out of [G#] orbit.
[F#] I'm clinging [E] to your finest [F#] words.
[G#] I'm draining [E] all the angry glass, [F#] all that's building [E] up inside.
[F#] [B] I [E] am a [G#m] satellite, [F#] never getting [E] signals right.
[B] You [E] are a constellation, [G#m] I [F#] can barely make [E] you out tonight.
[G#] The [F#m] city [E] lights [F#] are burning [G#m] too bright.
[E] [G#m] [B]
[E] [G#m] [E] [G#m]
[B] [E] [G#] And [F#] the [E] dreamers walk slowly [G#] through the [F#] crowds.
Nothing [E] can stop us now.
