Chinese Satellite

[Intro] G

                  D4/F#  C9
I've been running around in circles
G             D4/F#  C9
Pretending to be myself
G                  A7(4)    C9
Why would somebody do this on purpose
G                 D4/F#   C9
When they could do something else?
Em7              C9
Drowning out the morning birds
        G                D4/F#    C9
With the same three songs over and over
         G               D4/F#     C9
I wish I wrote it, but I didn't so I learn the words
      G                      D4/F#     C9
Hum along 'til the feeling's gone forever

       C9   G       D4/F#
Took a tour to see the stars
      A7(4)            C9
But they weren't out tonight
            C9     G            D4/F#
So I wished hard on a Chinese satellite
  C9      G   D4/F#
I want to believe
C9                 G              D4/F#
Instead I look at the sky and I feel nothing
C9      G           D4/F#
You know I hate to be alone
             C9
I want to be wrong

G                         D4/F#  C9
You were screamin' at the Evangelicals
          G                         D4/F#      C9
They were screamin' right back from what I remember
              G      D4/F#      C9
When you said I will never be your vegetable
        G                   D4/F#        C9
Because I think when you're gone it's forever
    G            C9        G
But you know I'd stand on the corner
   D4/F#        A7(4) C9
Embarrassed with a picket sign
      C9         G
If it meant I would see you
       D4/F#
When I die

          C9        G    D4/F#
Sometimes when I can't sleep
C9                 G               D4/F#
It's just a matter of time before I'm hearing things
C9         G                    D4/F#
Swore I could feel you through the walls
D4/F#
But that's impossible
C9        G   D4/F#
I want to believe
C9           G               D4/F#
That if I go outside I'll see a tractor beam
C9     G           D4/F#
Coming to take me to where I'm from
D4/F#  Em7 C9
I want to go home
