Verse
D C G D F C G
D
Satellites talk for us
C
I'm stranded in the dark
G D
Of all the things I've loved
F C
But had to tear apart
G D
My satellites talked for us
F D C
I'm staring into space
G D
Something I could trust
F C
To put me in my place
D Am G
I wasted all that time
C F E
I wasted yours as well
D F
You saved me with the thought
 
That something somewhere
C
Must be happening
G D
I turned to you inside
F D C
You smiled and we started laughing
G D F C
And turning to one's side
G D
Satellites talked for us
F C
I'm stranded in the dark
G D
Of everything I've loved
F C
And went and took apart
D G G C
I got lost in myself
F E
And time got lost as well
D F
But safety is the thought
C#
That something somewhere
 
Must be happening
