[Verse 1]
Cm Eb
Maybe I should've shown you,
Ab Eb
A clearer plainer truth,
Fm Eb
That doesn't care about summer,
Ab G G
And less about youth.
[Verse 2]
Cm Eb
Now in this silence,
Ab Eb
What more is there to do,
Fm Eb
Something has broken,
Ab G G
In me and in you.
[Verse 3]
Cm Eb
In watchful dependence,
Ab Eb
A satellite spins,
Fm Eb
Cautiously circling,
Ab G G
The space that I'm in.
[Verse 4]
Cm Eb
It's bouncing me signals,
Ab Eb
Distorted by time,
Fm Eb
I'm stuck here waiting,
Ab G G
For the stars to align.
[Fig 1]
[Bridge]
Dm E7
Dancing right in front of me,
Am Am
All the lives I once could see,
Dm E7
Slipping to and slipping fro,
Am Am
Disappearing who's to know,
Dm E7
Where they have gone just out of sight,
Am Am
Into the shadows of my night,
Dm E7 Am G
Who started out as stars in my eyes

[Piano Interlude]
Now I like nearly everything David Gilmour has done...this bit is the 'nearly'
However, it is played over the bridge chords of [Dm, E7, Am, Am] x 4
[Verse 5]
Cm Eb
There's a wide horizon,
Ab Eb
Go on now take a chance,
Fm Eb
Your star is shining,
Ab G
It lights a brighter path.
[Verse 6]
Cm Eb
It's all there inside you,
Ab Eb
Take one day at a time,
Fm Eb
Reeling, free-wheeling,
Ab G G
I want to watch you fly

Notes:
The big 2-tone bend in outro measure 14 sounds OK if you do 18b20r18p16.
Each chord marks the start of a new bar. Note between verses there are 2 bars of a
G chord except beween verses 5 and 6. eg (12)pb13 means pre-bend 12th fret to 13 and
pick, so 12b13(12)pb13 means pick 12th fret bend to 13th..hold bend...pick 13th.
