The Man Who Fell to Earth – Will Varley
Capo: 2nd fret
Am
A new star is born in the stillness of morning
The edge of the universe time is expanding
C
It’s endless as love,
Infinitely small,
G G G#
Lights in the darkness no reason at all
Am
Billions of years, away half moons are sharing
C
Glasses of wine with asteroids passing
G
Galaxy wakes
on the wrong side of space
F G
Gravity laughs in reality’s face
Am
Somewhere there like dust in the air
G
A sphere is drifting too slowly to bear
F
And clinging on tightly to rocks and stones
G
A parasite’s calling this dust its home
Am G C
Another second of another day
Am G C
In this corner of space
Am G C F
In this dark cold universe
C
This world that I’m living in
Em F
Makes no sense to me
F Dm F Dm C
I’m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
C E
Am
A baby is born in the stillness of morning,
C
Ten minutes past five they declared him alive
G
As tears roll down his mother’s cheeks
F G
And the midwife breathes a sigh of relief
Am
While just down the road the last of the drunks
G
Make their way home to pass out on the bus
F
While the first of the business men shirts and ties
G
Get ready to sell some more of their lies
Am
In the newspaper offices lights are still on
C
They’ve been up all night waiting for things to wrong
G
And nobody saw as the wheels came down
F G
A young man silently fall to the ground
Am G C
In the houses they’re turning on lights
Am G C
Putting blindfolds over their eyes
Am G F
Getting ready for another day at work
C
This illusion that I’m living in
E F
Makes no sense to me
F Dm F Dm C
I’m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
C Em
Am
A body is found in the stillness of morning,
C
A priest in the street calls out a warning,
G
Somewhere above London an air hostess stands
F G
A 747 is coming into land
Am
A farmer has started her work for the day
G
Somehow she knows that something has changed
F
Out in the fields she dreams of her son,
C E
Back to the day when his journey begun
Am
An eagle is searching for food in the spring
C
A sperm sleeps while a hummingbird sings
G
A lover is waiting for news by the phone
F G
Out in the fields a cold wind blows
Am G C
Cross the world there’s flashes of light
Am G C
They’ve been bombing the city all night
Am G F
In the end what’s it all worth?
C
This simulation I’m living in
E F
Makes no sense to me
F Dm F Dm C E
I’m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
F Dm F Dm C E
I’m still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
Am
A tear is travelling across some skin,
C
Molecules of water and sodium spin,
G
Atoms are shaking so infinitely small
F G
Just lights in the darkness no reason at all
Capo: 2nd fret
