The Downtown Fiction - Is anybody out there

^GmStand in line, like ^Dmmilitary time, ^Fflowers blooming up from^C dirt. ^GmWear the ties and ^Dmcomplicatd lies, there's ^Cwrinkles on a fresh-pressed ^Fshirt. He ^Gmstands alone, co^Dmnforming on his own, he's ^Fthinking but he does not ^Cspeak. He ^Gmtries to fight, the ^Dmedge is on his mind, but^F she is what he truly ^Cseeks. But^Dm she is what he truly ^Aseeks.....

^FHey, is anybody ^Dmout there? I'm reaching^A# out.... ^A#mHey? Is anybody^Dm out there? I'm ^Ccoming ^A#down....^A#m. Hey? Is anybody ^Dmout there? I'm ^Cfreaking ^A#out... I'm^A#m freaking ^Aout.. (This verse sounds better with a different chord progression than the 1st.) Verse 2: The ^Gmheat does rise, per^Dmforming double time, The ^Fsweat is falling from hi^Cs brow. He's^Gm near his prize, but ^Dmshe begins to fly. He ^Cknows that he must act, the time i^Fs now. A ^Gmdance, they play an ^Dmancient lover's game, a^Fverts his eyes and chooses not to ^Cstare. The ^Gmtrick, he sees, is a^Dmiming not to please, pr^Fetending that he doesn't really ^Ccare. If you ^Dmwant her, then pretend that you don't^A care...

We're ^Dmtrapped inside a star, oh ^Fwe have gone too far. ^GmAll we want is to es^Dmcape, es^A#cape, e^Ascape....
