[intro] Em C#m A B
E C#m
She looked like she learned to dance
B A
>From a series of still pictures
E C#m
She's madly excited now
B A
She 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 A
Champagne 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# E
The 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# E
People sharing the same sorrow
C#m A
As the satellite looks down
B A B7
Her darkest hour is somebody's bright tomorrow
E C#m B A
He pulled on a cigarette in the crook of his first finger
E C#m B A
Felt the static electric charge of her perfect hourglass figure
B G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B
As he undressed her with his eyes her weakness was his talent
G#m G#7/B# C#m
How could she know as she stepped through the lights
F#7/A# B A
That her dress would become transparent
B E
And with his face pressed to the screen
A F# B B7/D# E
He 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# E
People sharing the same cheap sensation
C# A
The thrill of watching somebody watching
B A B7
Those forbidden things we never mention
[chorus]
E C#m7 A B7 E
The satellite looks down right now and forever
C#m7 A B7
What it has pulled apart, let no man tether
G#m F# F#m
His own body to his dream, his dream to someone else
B B7
Oh no, oh no
E C#m B A
She went back to her pitiful compromise, he'd go back to his family
E C#m B A
But for the matter of a thousand miles that separated them entirely
B G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B
In the hot unloving spotlight with the secrets it arouses
G#m G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B A
Now they both know what it's like inside a pornographer's trousers
B E
And in a funny way it's anonymous
A F# B B7/D# E C#m
The satellite, it blesses us and makes these dreams come true
A C#m A
All over the world at the very same time
C#m
All over the world
[chorus]
[last 2 chords are B7 and Dsus2, which is a regular D with the E open]
