The Man Who Fell To Earth chords by Will Varley

The Man Who Fell to Earth ? Will Varley


Bm
A new star is born in the stillness of morning

The edge of the universe time is expanding
D
It?s endless as love,

Infinitely small,
A                    A Bb
Lights in the darkness no reason at all

B
Billions of years, away half moons are sharing
D

Glasses of wine with asteroids passing
A
Galaxy wakes

on the wrong side of space
G         A
Gravity laughs in reality?s face

Bm
Somewhere there like dust in the air
A
A sphere is drifting too slowly to bear
G
And clinging on tightly to rocks and stones
A
A parasite?s calling this dust its home

    Bm     A   D
Another second of another day
     Bm  A  D
In this corner of space
     Bm  A  D   G
In this dark cold universe
           D
This world that I?m living in
F#m        G
Makes no sense to me
      G     Em    G    Em   D
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth


D    F#

Bm
A baby is born in the stillness of morning,
D
Ten minutes past five they declared him alive
A
As tears roll down his mother?s cheeks
G         A
And the midwife breathes a sigh of relief

Bm
While just down the road the last of the drunks
A
Make their way home to pass out on the bus
G
While the first of the business men shirts and ties
A
Get ready to sell some more of their lies

Bm
In the newspaper offices lights are still on
D
They?ve been up all night waiting for things to wrong
A
And nobody saw as the wheels came down
G        A
A young man silently fall to the ground

   Bm   A    D
In the houses they?re turning on lights
    Bm    A      D
Putting blindfolds over their eyes
     Bm    A       G
Getting ready for another day at work
          D
This illusion that I?m living in
F#         G
Makes no sense to me
      G     Em    G    Em   D
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth

D    F#m

Bm
A body is found in the stillness of morning,
D
A priest in the street calls out a warning,
A
Somewhere above London an air hostess stands
G      A
A 747 is coming into land

Bm
A farmer has started her work for the day
A
Somehow she knows that something has changed
G
Out in the fields she dreams of her son,
D            F#
Back to the day when his journey begun

Bm
An eagle is searching for food in the spring
D
A sperm sleeps while a hummingbird sings
A
A lover is waiting for news by the phone
G          A
Out in the fields a cold wind blows

      Bm   A    D
Cross the world there?s flashes of light
          Bm   A    D
They?ve been bombing the city all night
    Bm     A    G
In the end what?s it all worth?
          D
This simulation I?m living in
F#         G
Makes no sense to me

     G    Em    G    Em   D    F#
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
     G    Em    G    Em   D     F#
I?m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth

Bm
A tear is travelling across some skin,
D
Molecules of water and sodium spin,
A
Atoms are shaking so infinitely small
G              A
Just lights in the darkness no reason at all
