Elvis Costello - Satellite

^EShe looked like she ^C#mlearned to dance

^B>From a series^A of still pictures

^EShe's madly ex^C#mcited now

^BShe throws her hands up ^Alike 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 | | | | Where ^G#mcartoon bubbles burst ^G#7/B#in the air

Cham^C#mpagne rolls ^F#7/A#off her ^Btongue like a second ^Alanguage F#7/A# B E --x-------- And it should have been her biggest night | | 1 | | | | | | | 2 | 3 | | 3 | | The ^Asatellite looks ^F#down on her as ^Bshe be^B7/D#gins to ^Ecry

People ^Bsharing the ^B7/D#same s^Eorrow

As the ^C#msatellite looks ^Adown

Her ^Bdarkest hour is ^Asomebody's bright ^B7tomorrow ^EHe pulled on a ^C#mcigarette ^Bin the crook of ^Ahis first finger

^EFelt the static el^C#mectric charge ^Bof her perfect ^Ahourglass figure

As ^Bhe undressed her ^G#7/B#with his eyes her ^C#mweakness^F#7/A# was his ^Btalent

How ^G#mcould she know as ^G#7/B#she stepped through the ^C#mlights

That her ^F#7/A#dress wou^Bld become trans^Aparent

And ^Bwith his face pressed ^Eto the screen

He ^Amuttered words he'd ^F#never dare to ^Bsay if ^B7/D#she could ^Esee him

People ^Bsharing the ^B7/D#same cheap sen^Esation

The ^C#thrill of watching ^Asomebody watching

^BThose forbidden ^Athings we never ^B7mention [chorus]

The ^Esatell^C#m7ite looks ^Adown right ^B7now and fo^Erever

What ^C#m7it has pulled a^Apart, let ^B7no man tether

^G#mHis own body to his ^F#dream, his dream to someone ^F#melse

Oh no, oh no^{B B7} She went ^Eback to her pitiful ^C#mcompromise, ^Bhe'd go back ^Ato his family

^EBut for the matter of a ^C#mthousand miles that ^Bseparated ^Athem entirely

In the ^Bhot unloving ^G#7/B#spotlight with the ^C#msecrets ^F#7/A#it arou^Bses

^G#mNow they both know ^G#7/B#what it's like ^C#minsi^F#7/A#de a por^Bnographer's ^Atrousers

And in a ^Bfunny way it's a^Enonymous

The ^Asatellite, it ^F#blesses us and ^Bmakes these ^B7/D#dreams come ^Etrue ^C#m

^AAll over the ^C#mworld at the very same ^Atime

All over the ^C#mworld
