Verse 1:
C C C C G
It started with a low light, next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed.
Am G G C
And then they took my blood type, they left a strange impression in my head.
C C C G
You know that I was hopin', that I could leave this starcrossed world behind.
Am G G
But when they cut me open, I guess I changed my mind.
Prechorus 1:
F G Am Em
And you know I might have just flown too far
F G Am Em
from the floor this time, 'cos they're calling me by my name.
F G Em Am
And they’re zipping white light beams, disregarding bombs and satellites.
G G G G
That was the turning point, that was one lonely night.
Chorus 1:
C Am C F
The starmaker says it ain't so bad, the dream-maker's gonna make you mad.
F Am Em G

Verse 2:
C C C C G
Well now I'm back at home and, I'm looking forward to this life I live.
Am G G C
You know it's gonna haunt me, so hesitation to this life I give.
C C C G
You think you might cross over, you're caught between the devil & the deep blue sea.
Am G G
You better look it over, before you make that leap.
