Lowkey might be sort of off but close enough. You can also substitute the Bm for a Bmb6 [020003] and it sounds fine [Verse]
        G              Bm               C             D
You were dead when they found you on the floor of your apartment

         G             Bm                  C              D        D*
You were dead and your drumset stood there shining in the dark

             C            G                 D
Shining like stagelights, shining like your eyes

C            D            G
Shining like Orion in the night

               G            Bm               C                D
You were small-time back in Austin where the drummers are all poor

         G                Bm                   C              D
You were rocking out this dark bar; there were bottles on the floor

      D*            C           G              D
And a couple lonely people, the bartender, and I

C                  D        G
Remembered what it is to be alive
[Chorus]
   D*             C
Hey Orion, he's a-falling

G                D
Catch him if you can

   D*           C
Hey Orion, he's calling

G     D     G
Amen, amen, amen
[Verse]
         G              Bm                 C             D
Were you dreaming of the big-time when you fell down all alone?

        G            Bm            C           D        D*
Did you see a velvet curtain and a silver microphone?

          C                   G                D
Could you hear your own heart beating, did you feel it getting slow?

        C                     D              G
Did you hear your own heart playing rock and roll?
[Chorus]
   D*             C
Hey Orion, he's a-falling

G                D
Catch him if you can

   D*           C
Hey Orion, he's calling

G     D     G
Amen, amen, amen
[Instrumental] [Verse]
G                 Bm           C          D
Grandpa sits in a hotel, Buddy Holly on a plane

G                Bm                   C       D
And you, in your apartment, with your drumset shining

D*               C        G                 D
Shining like stagelights, shining like your eyes

C            D            G
Shining like Orion in the night
[Chorus]
   D*             C
Hey Orion, he's a-falling

Catch him if you can

   D*           C
Hey Orion, he's calling

G     D     G
Amen, amen, amen
