The Man Who Fell to Earth ? Will Varley
B minorBm
A augmentedA new star is born in the stillness of morning
The edge of the universe time is expanding
D MajorD
It?s endless as love,
Infinitely small,
A augmentedA A augmentedA Bb majorBb
Lights in the darkness no reason at all
BB
Billions of years, away half moons are sharing
D MajorD
Glasses of wine with asteroids passing
A augmentedA
Galaxy wakes
on the wrong side of space
G+G A augmentedA
Gravity laughs in reality?s face
B minorBm
Somewhere there like dust in the air
A augmentedA
A majorA sphere is drifting too slowly to bear
G+G
And clinging on tightly to rocks and stones
A augmentedA
A majorA parasite?s calling this dust its home
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
Another second of another day
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
In this corner of space
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
In this dark cold universe
D MajorD
This world that I?m living in
F# minorF#m G+G
Makes no sense to me
G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
D MajorD F#F#
B minorBm
A augmentedA baby is born in the stillness of morning,
D MajorD
Ten minutes past five they declared him alive
A augmentedA
As tears roll down his mother?s cheeks
G+G A augmentedA
And the midwife breathes a sigh of relief
B minorBm
While just down the road the last of the drunks
A augmentedA
Make their way home to pass out on the bus
G+G
While the first of the business men shirts and ties
A augmentedA
Get ready to sell some more of their lies
B minorBm
In the newspaper offices lights are still on
D MajorD
They?ve been up all night waiting for things to wrong
A augmentedA
And nobody saw as the wheels came down
G+G A augmentedA
A majorA young man silently fall to the ground
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
In the houses they?re turning on lights
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
Putting blindfolds over their eyes
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Getting ready for another day at work
D MajorD
This illusion that I?m living in
F#F# G+G
Makes no sense to me
G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
D MajorD F# minorF#m
B minorBm
A augmentedA body is found in the stillness of morning,
D MajorD
A augmentedA priest in the street calls out a warning,
A augmentedA
Somewhere above London an air hostess stands
G+G A augmentedA
A majorA 747 is coming into land
B minorBm
A augmentedA farmer has started her work for the day
A augmentedA
Somehow she knows that something has changed
G+G
Out in the fields she dreams of her son,
D MajorD F#F#
Back to the day when his journey begun
B minorBm
An eagle is searching for food in the spring
D MajorD
A augmentedA sperm sleeps while a hummingbird sings
A augmentedA
A majorA lover is waiting for news by the phone
G+G A augmentedA
Out in the fields a cold wind blows
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
Cross the world there?s flashes of light
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
They?ve been bombing the city all night
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
In the end what?s it all worth?
D MajorD
This simulation I?m living in
F#F# G+G
Makes no sense to me
G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD F#F#
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD F#F#
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
B minorBm
A augmentedA tear is travelling across some skin,
D MajorD
Molecules of water and sodium spin,
A augmentedA
Atoms are shaking so infinitely small
G+G A augmentedA
Just lights in the darkness no reason at all
