Verse 1:
E E E E B
It started with a low light, next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed.
C#m B B E
And then they took my blood type, they left a strange impression in my head.
E E E B
You know that I was hopin’, that I could leave this starcrossed world behind.
C#m B B
When they cut me open, I guess I changed my mind.

Prechorus 1:
A B C#m G#m
And you know I might just walk too far
A B C#m G#m
from the floor this time, ‘cos they’re calling me by my name.
A B C/C#m C#m
And they’re zipping with light beams to street corners, phones, and satellites.
B B B B
Oh that was the turning point, that was one lonely night.

Chorus:
E C#m E A A C#m G#m B
The starmaker says it ain’t so bad, the dream-maker’s gonna make you mad.
The spaceman says, “Everybody look down, it’s all in your mind.”

Verse 2:

Well now I’m back at home and, I’m looking forward to this life I live.
You know it’s gonna haunt me, so hesitation to this life I give.
You think you might cross over, you’re caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
You better look it over, before you make that leap.

Prechorus 2:
And you know I’m fine, but I hear those voices
at night sometimes, that justify my claim.
And the public don’t dwell on my transmission, ‘cos it wasn’t televised.
But it was the turning point, on a lonely night.
