[Verse]
On the E528th of B5January A5198A5/F#6 Christa McE5Auliffe
Gazed in B5horror as the O-rings failed,
A5And she died, and she died,A5/F# and she died.
For the E5next agonizing tB5wo minutes and A5forty-five long A5/F#seconds
She called E5out the truth on a B5broken radio:
A5"I'm alive, I'm alivA5/F#e, I'm alive"
[Chorus]
It B5came as some B5/Asurprise to reEalize that
As she lost Aeverything
The B5world was revealed in a B5/Atransmission so Ereal
That she understood Aeverything:
You're still alive.
(Intro Riff)
You're still alive.
(Intro Riff)
[Verse]
E5Four thousand nautical B5miles as the crow A5flies away
A A5/F#home-made ham radiE5o in the loft of a HamB5pshire family home
A5Came alive, came alive, A5/F#came alive.
And so the E5four year old amateur B5operator A5thus became
The A5/F#only person to E5hear Christa's last desB5perate communiqué:
A5"We're alive, we're alivA5/F#e, we're alive"
[Chorus]
It B5came as some B5/Asurprise to reEalize
That he didn’tA catch anything
The world was revealed in a transmission so real
That he understood eAverything:
You're still alive.
[Break]
And Christa said:

The Edarkness up above Am
Led D7/A#me on like unErequited lovC#me,
While all the C5things I need
Were Bdown here in the B/Adeep blue sea

At four years old I heard the truth on my radio,
So C7now I keep a Bsus4moment's silence for B5/Amy Silent Key.
