verse 1 :
C C C C G
it started with a low light , next thing i knew they ripped me from my bed .
Am G G C
and then they took my blood type , they left a strange impression in my head .
C C C G
you know that i was hopin’ , that i could leave this starcrossed world behind .
Am G G
but when they cut me open , i guess i changed my mind .

prechorus 1 :
F G Am Em
and you know i might have just flown too far
F G Am Em
from the floor this time , ’cos they’re calling me by my name .
F G Em Am
and theyre zipping white light beams , disregarding bombs and satellites .
G G G G
that was the turning point , that was one lonely night .

chorus 1 :
C Am C F
the starmaker says it ain’t so bad , the dream – maker’s gonna make you mad .
F Am Em G
the spaceman says , “everybody look down , it’s all in your mind . ”

verse 2 :
C C C C G
well now i’m back at home and , i’m looking forward to this life i live .
Am G G C
you know it’s gonna haunt me , so hesitation to this life i give .
C C C G
you think you might cross over , you’re caught between the devil & the deep blue sea .
Am G G
you better look it over , before you make that leap .

prechorus 2 :
F G Am Em
and you know i’m fine , but i hear those voices
F G Am Em
at night sometimes , that justify my claim .
F G Em Am
and the public don’t dwell on my transmission , ’cos it wasn’t televised .
G G G G
but it was the turning point , oh , what a lonely night!
