The Man Who Fell To Earth chords by Will Varley

The Man Who Fell to Earth ? Will Varley


Bm
A new star is born in the stillness of morning

The edge of the universe time is expanding
D
It?s endless as love,

Infinitely small,
A                                       A Bb
Lights in the darkness no reason at all

B
Billions of years, away half moons are sharing
D

Glasses of wine with asteroids passing
A
Galaxy wakes

on the wrong side of space
G                  A
Gravity laughs in reality?s face

Bm
Somewhere there like dust in the air
A
A sphere is drifting too slowly to bear
G
And clinging on tightly to rocks and stones
A
A parasite?s calling this dust its home

        Bm          A      D
Another second of another day
         Bm    A    D
In this corner of space
         Bm   A    D     G
In this dark cold universe
                     D
This world that I?m living in
F#m               G
Makes no sense to me
           G         Em       G        Em      D
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth


D       F#

Bm
A baby is born in the stillness of morning,
D
Ten minutes past five they declared him alive
A
As tears roll down his mother?s cheeks
G                  A
And the midwife breathes a sigh of relief

Bm
While just down the road the last of the drunks
A
Make their way home to pass out on the bus
G
While the first of the business men shirts and ties
A
Get ready to sell some more of their lies

Bm
In the newspaper offices lights are still on
D
They?ve been up all night waiting for things to wrong
A
And nobody saw as the wheels came down
G                A
A young man silently fall to the ground

      Bm      A       D
In the houses they?re turning on lights
        Bm        A           D
Putting blindfolds over their eyes
         Bm        A             G
Getting ready for another day at work
                   D
This illusion that I?m living in
F#                 G
Makes no sense to me
           G         Em       G        Em      D
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth

D       F#m

Bm
A body is found in the stillness of morning,
D
A priest in the street calls out a warning,
A
Somewhere above London an air hostess stands
G           A
A 747 is coming into land

Bm
A farmer has started her work for the day
A
Somehow she knows that something has changed
G
Out in the fields she dreams of her son,
D                        F#
Back to the day when his journey begun

Bm
An eagle is searching for food in the spring
D
A sperm sleeps while a hummingbird sings
A
A lover is waiting for news by the phone
G                    A
Out in the fields a cold wind blows

           Bm      A       D
Cross the world there?s flashes of light
                   Bm      A       D
They?ve been bombing the city all night
        Bm          A       G
In the end what?s it  all worth?
                    D
This simulation I?m living in
F#                 G
Makes no sense to me

          G        Em       G        Em      D        F#
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
          G        Em       G        Em      D          F#
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth

Bm
A tear is travelling across some skin,
D
Molecules of water and sodium spin,
A
Atoms are shaking so infinitely small
G                            A
Just lights in the darkness no reason at all
