Everybody wants to know
Em
is there life on Mars?
C
David Bowie wondered once
Em
now he's lost in the stars
C
Everybody likes to dream
Em
of worlds so faraway
C
We're lining up alibis
Em
and planning our escape
C
But Houston we have a problem
Em
I'm coming apart at the seams
C
Everyone seems to be laughing
Em
and I can't hear myself scream!
C
Houston, I can't believe it
Em
I'm floating around here in space.
C
I'm a latter day rocket man
D
who's lost his poker face
G D Em
And I look down on the world below
C Am
a million miles away
D
a million miles away
G D Em
The closer I get to heaven's gate
C Am
the less I seem to pray
D
the less I seem to pray
C
Everybody's laying low
Em
while the time flies past.
C
David Bowie sold the world
Em
now he’s resting in peace
C
Everybody needs a dream
Em
to keep our lives fulfilled
C
So we're lining up alibis
Em
and heading for the hills.

And I look down on the world below
C Am
a million miles away

a million miles away
G D Em
The closer I get to heaven's gate
C Am
the less I seem to pray
D
the less I seem to pray
G
And it's a crazy old world,
G
this world that we live in
Em
We all want fame and gold
C
and we're fighting for glory
D
and storybook endings
G D Em
And I look down on the world below
C Am
a million miles away
D
a million miles away
