Satellite
from Spike
tabbed by ah-BA! Pronoun trouble
[intro] Em C#m A B
E C#mShe looked like she learned to dance
B A>From a series of still pictures
E C#mShe's madly excited now
B AShe throws her hands up like a tulip
G#7/B#
B G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B -----------
She looks like an illustration of a cocktail party | | 1 1 1 |
| | | | | 2
| 3 | | | |
G#m G#7/B#Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air
C#m F#7/A# B AChampagne rolls off her tongue like a second language
F#7/A#
B E --x--------
And it should have been her biggest night | | 1 | | |
| | | | 2 |
3 | | 3 | |
A F# B B7/D# EThe satellite looks down on her as she begins to cry
B7/D#
tacet C#m A -----------
All over the world at the very same time | | 1 | | |
| | | 2 | 2
| | | | | |
B B7/D# EPeople sharing the same sorrow
C#m AAs the satellite looks down
B A B7Ber darkest hour is somebody's bright tomorrow
E C#m B ABe pulled on a cigarette in the crook of his first finger
E C#m B AFelt the static electric charge of her perfect hourglass figure
B G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# BAs he undressed her with his eyes her weakness was his talent
G#m G#7/B# C#mBow could she know as she stepped through the lights
F#7/A# B AThat her dress would become transparent
B EAnd with his face pressed to the screen
A F# B B7/D# EBe muttered words he'd never dare to say if she could see him
tacet C#m A
All over the world at the very same time
B B7/D# EPeople sharing the same cheap sensation
C# AThe thrill of watching somebody watching
B A B7Those forbidden things we never mention
[chorus]
E C#m7 A B7 EThe satellite looks down right now and forever
C#m7 A B7What it has pulled apart, let no man tether
G#m F# F#mBis own body to his dream, his dream to someone else
B B7Oh no, oh no
E C#m B AShe went back to her pitiful compromise, he'd go back to his family
E C#m B ABut for the matter of a thousand miles that separated them entirely
B G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# BIn the hot unloving spotlight with the secrets it arouses
G#m G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B ANow they both know what it's like inside a pornographer's trousers
B EAnd in a funny way it's anonymous
A F# B B7/D# E C#mThe satellite, it blesses us and makes these dreams come true
A C#m AAll over the world at the very same time
C#mAll over the world
[chorus]
[last 2 chords are B7 and Dsus2, which is a regular D with the E open]
