MI DO#m
She looked like she learned to dance
SI LA
From a series of still pictures
MI DO#m
She's madly excited now
SI LA
She throws her hands up like a tulip
SOL#7/SI#

She looks like an illustration of a cocktail party | | 1 1 1 |

SOL#m SOL#7/SI#
Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air

Champagne rolls off her tongue like a second language

And it should have been her biggest night | | 1 | | |

SI SI7/MIb MI
People sharing the same sorrow
DO#m LA
As the satellite looks down
SI LA SI7
Her darkest hour is somebody's bright tomorrow
MI DO#m SI LA
He pulled on a cigarette in the crook of his first finger
MI DO#m SI LA
Felt the static electric charge of her perfect hourglass figure
SI SOL#7/SI# DO#m FA#7/SIb SI
As he undressed her with his eyes her weakness was his talent
SOL#m SOL#7/SI# DO#m
How could she know as she stepped through the lights
FA#7/SIb SI LA
That her dress would become transparent
SI MI
And with his face pressed to the screen
LA FA# SI SI7/MIb MI
He muttered words he'd never dare to say if she could see him
tacet C#m A
All over the world at the very same time
SI SI7/MIb MI
People sharing the same cheap sensation
DO# LA
The thrill of watching somebody watching
SI LA SI7
Those forbidden things we never mention
chorus
MI DO#m7 LA SI7 MI
The satellite looks down right now and forever
DO#m7 LA SI7
What it has pulled apart, let no man tether
SOL#m FA# FA#m
His own body to his dream, his dream to someone else
SI SI7
Oh no, oh no
MI DO#m SI LA
She went back to her pitiful compromise, he'd go back to his family
MI DO#m SI LA
But for the matter of a thousand miles that separated them entirely
SI SOL#7/SI# DO#m FA#7/SIb SI
In the hot unloving spotlight with the secrets it arouses
SOL#m SOL#7/SI# DO#m FA#7/SIb SI LA
Now they both know what it's like inside a pornographer's trousers
SI MI
And in a funny way it's anonymous
LA FA# SI SI7/MIb MI DO#m
The satellite, it blesses us and makes these dreams come true
LA DO#m LA
All over the world at the very same time
DO#m
All over the world
chorus
[last 2 chords are B7 and Dsus2, which is a regular D with the E open]
