Chords

[Intro] | Em | Em | C | C | | Em | Em | C | C [Verse 1]
    Em
Her shopping bag broke sending eggs and flour crashing
Down to the ground, just like star clusters smashing
    C
But no one will give her a glance
They just shuffle on home in a trance
    Em
The tiniest lives fill their hives up with worry
To make it to church, well, she'll need to hurry
     C
When late she will bow down contrite
While a meteor turns out the light [Chorus]
Bm
   And there in an ordinary street

  G9
A car isn't where it would normally be

    C
The driver in tears 'bout his payment arrears

       Ab
Still, nobody hears whеn a sun disappears

     G
In a galaxy afar
[Instrumental] | Em | Em | C | C | | Em | Em | C | C | | Bm | G9 | C | Ab | | G | G [Verse 2]
      Em
First day of the new job and hе was so nervous
The suit and the platitude, "Can I be of service?"
    C
His boss made him clean all the cars
While he wondered, "Is there life on Mars?"
    Em
And meanwhile the stars line themselves up in order
While we bicker on with our fences and borders
    C
But best not think about that
It's better to live without facts [Chorus]
Bm
   And now in her old wedding bed

  G9
A lady will dream that her husband is dead

   C
Of course he's alive, he'll be home around five

       Ab
Still, silence arrives, when a nebula dives 

  G
Into our Milky Way
(Instrumental) [Verse 3]
    Em
The thunder and rain start, the paving stones melt
And oddly the first spots make Orion's belt as
    C
You queue at the bank for an hour
'Cause a solar flare blew out the power
    Em
The nurse in the care home now empties a bath tub
The water will spiral, a galaxy's vast hub
   C
Is draining away as we speak
But she loses her job there next week [Chorus]
Bm
   And there with his first telescope

  G9
A teenager stands full of hormones and hope

      C
As he squints at the night, like a painting of light

   Ab
He doesn't suppose that a black hole implodes

     G
In a trillion tears from now (Ah)
