Verse 1:
Cmaj7Cmaj7          DsusDsus
It was the opposite of 'Fire and Rain'
D(add4)
You know the song
Cmaj7Cmaj7            DsusDsus
I never thought I'd see this guy again
D(add4)
But I was wrong
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Oh, every five years
   D(add4)   Cmaj7Cmaj7
Since 1972 when at recess
          DsusDsus
He recruited me to try to kick
     D MajorD         G+G GMaj9Gmaj9
The church down to the ground

Chorus:
    B7B7
Michael Praytor

So random
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Who knows why some satellites
   Eb MajorEb
Come by and by
           G/DG/D
While others disappear
      B9/D#
Into the sky
Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD

Verse 2:
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Good morning, mirror
       DsusDsus
Break the change to me
 D(add4)
I try to stay too close to see
Cmaj7Cmaj7               D(add4)
That there's a pattern in the tiles
               Cmaj7Cmaj7
And a fool who marks the miles

It was long hair
   DsusDsus       D(add4)
And this time it was no hair
      Cmaj7Cmaj7
Seen him thin, divorced, inspired
    DsusDsus    D MajorD         GMaj9Gmaj9
Engaged in chemo, born again and fired

Chorus 2:
   B7B7
Michael Praytor

So random
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Who knows why some satellites

Disappear into the sky

Cmaj7Cmaj7             DsusDsus
At Hanes Mall parking lot at 5am

I saw him sleeping in his car
Cmaj7Cmaj7
I'd been up all night from New York
D(add4)
Bumming out on 95
Cmaj7Cmaj7       Em/DEm/D D(add4)
And we're 30 and we all lived with our parents
