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
