The sCmpace in which we're A#travelling
Interlude: Cm (Synthesizer plays intro)
Refrain:
Cm From the D#top of the first pagG#e
Cm To the D#end of the last daG#y
Cm From the sD#tart in your own waG#y
You just wantA# somebody listening to what you G#say
It doesn't matter who you Fmare

You just want
A# Somebody listening to what you sG#ay
Oh, you just wantA# somebody listening to what you sG#ay
It doesn't matter who you aFmre
It doesn't matter who you are
(SYNTHESIZER)
Is there G#anybody out there who
Is Fmlost and hurt and lonely too
Are they Cmbleeding all your colours into oA#ne'
and if you come undonG#e
As if you've been run through, some Fmcatapult it fired you
You Cmwonder if your chance will ever A#come
Or if you're stuck in square G#one...
