G(add2) B7sus B7 Cmaj7 A7/C#
Cmaj7 Dsus D(add4)

Verse 1:
Cmaj7                    Dsus
It was the opposite of 'Fire and Rain'
D(add4)
You know the song
Cmaj7                        Dsus
I never thought I'd see this guy again
D(add4)
But I was wrong
Cmaj7
Oh, every five years
      D(add4)      Cmaj7
Since 1972 when at recess
                   Dsus
He recruited me to try to kick
          D                  G Gmaj9
The church down to the ground

Chorus:
       B7
Michael Praytor

So random
Cmaj7
Who knows why some satellites
      Eb
Come by and by
                      G/D
While others disappear
            B9/D#
Into the sky
Cmaj7 D

Verse 2:
Cmaj7
Good morning, mirror
             Dsus
Break the change to me
  D(add4)
I try to stay too close to see
Cmaj7                              D(add4)
That there's a pattern in the tiles
                              Cmaj7
And a fool who marks the miles

It was long hair
     Dsus              D(add4)
And this time it was no hair
            Cmaj7
Seen him thin, divorced, inspired
       Dsus       D                 Gmaj9
Engaged in chemo, born again and fired

Chorus 2:
      B7
Michael Praytor

So random
Cmaj7
Who knows why some satellites
      Eb
Come by and by
                      G/D
While others disappear
            B9/D#
Into the sky
       Gmaj13/E         G/F Em Eb6/9
Disappear into the sky

Verse 3:
Cmaj7                         Dsus
At Hanes Mall parking lot at 5am
  D(add4)
I saw him sleeping in his car
Cmaj7
I'd been up all night from New York
D(add4)
Bumming out on 95
Cmaj7              Em/D D(add4)
And we're 30 and we all lived with our parents
             Cmaj7
"And my wife," he said, "she kicked me out"
Dsus
I said, "Same here
                           Em
Guess I'll see you 'round"

G/D                A7/C#
Who knows why some satellites

Come by and then they disappear
