These are just suggestions, so try out different voicings if you want, but I find that these
sound more Pink Floyd-ish which is what the band was aiming for.


Intro:

Bbm F#maj7 x4


Verse 1:
Bbm       F#maj7           Bbm   F#maj7
Alone and stranded, out of time
Bbm       F#maj7       Bbm       Bbm/Eb
Are you receiving me alright?
Bbm        F#maj7        Bbm     F#maj7
Out in the cold Arcturan night
Bbm         F#maj7       Bbm     F#maj7
Why are you leaving me behind?


Verse 2:
Bbm         F#maj7             Bbm    F#maj7
Lost to the void, all sense of time
Bbm          F#maj7        Bbm        Bbm/Eb
Was there no meaning to my life?
Bbm       F#maj7             Bbm      F#maj7
The air I breathe is running dry
Bbm              F#maj7       Bbm     C#
Don't think I'll last another night


Chorus:
F#                         Bbm            C#
I can't hear you if you're calling out my name
F#                      Bbm
I can't see you and I'm feeling just the same
F#               G#
I can't see you, I can't hear you
F#
I'll believe it when I


Instrumental:

Bbm F#maj7
Die

Bbm F#maj7 x7


Verse 3:
Bbm        F#maj7               Bbm    F#maj7
When I was young, I dreamed I'd fly
Bbm        F#maj7           Bbm        Bbm/Eb
I wish I'd had the nerve to try
Bbm      F#maj7         Bbm            F#maj7
I see my life before my eyes
Bbm           F#maj7            Bbm    C#
All that I've loved and I've despised


Chorus:
F#                         Bbm            C#
I can't hear you if you're calling out my name
F#                      Bbm
I can't see you and I'm feeling just the same
F#               G#
I can't see you, I can't hear you
F#                     Bbm
I'll believe it when I die (Die, die, die)


Bridge:
            F#maj7
Well, I'm a million miles away
F#maj7                                G#
From the whos and whys that used to matter
Bbm
Throw it all away, you could throw it all away
F#maj7
If I had just one more day
F#maj7                             G#
I would speak my mind, "goodbye forever"
Bbm
All I have to say, and I'd mean all that I'd say
F#maj7
And to those that I've betrayed
F#maj7                              G#
Before I close my eyes and sleep forever
Bbm
"Sorry for the pain, but you might have done the same"
F#maj7
And I'd thank you for today
F#maj7                           G#
And for all the moments not remembered
Bbm
Wish I could repay, but you're a million miles away
