[F] [Dm] [F] [A#] [A#] [Dm] [Am] [C] [F]It started with a [F]low light, [F]next thing I knew they [F]ripped me from my [C]bed. And then they took my [Dm]blood type, [C]they left a strange [C]impression in my [F]head. You know that I was [F]hoping, [F]that I could leave this [F]star-crossed world [C]behind. But when they cut me [Dm]open, [C]I guess I changed my [C]mind.

And you [A#]know I [C]might have just [Dm]flown too [Am]far From the [A#]floor this [C]time, ’cause they’re [Dm]calling me by my [Am]name. And they’re [A#]zipping white light beams, [C]disregarding [Am]bombs and [Dm]satellites. [C]That was the [C]turning point, [C]that was one [C]lonely night.

[F]The star maker says it [Dm]ain’t so bad, [F]the dream-maker’s gonna [A#]make you mad. [A#]The spaceman says, [Dm]”Everybody look down, [Am]it’s all in your [C]mind.”

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

And you [A#]know I’m [C]fine, but I [Dm]hear those [Am]voices At [A#]night some[C]times, that [Dm]justify my [Am]claim. And the [A#]public don’t dwell on [C]my transmission, ’cause it [Am]wasn’t tele[Dm]vised. [C]But it was the [C]turning point, [C]oh, what a [C]lonely night!

[F]The star maker says it [Dm]ain’t so bad, [F]the dream-maker’s gonna [A#]make you mad. [A#]The spaceman says, [Dm]”Everybody look down, [Am]it’s all in your [C]mind.” [F]The star maker says it [Dm]ain’t so bad, [F]the dream-maker’s gonna [A#]make you mad. [A#]The spaceman says, [Dm]”Everybody look down, [Am]it’s all in your [C]mind.”

[Dm] [Dm] [Dm] [Dm] [Dm] [Dm] [Dm] [Dm] [Dm]My global [Dm]position systems are [Dm]vocally [Dm]addressed. [Dm]They say the [Dm]Nile used [Dm]to run from East [Dm]to West. [Dm]They say the [Dm]Nile used [A#]to run, [C]from East to [A#]West. I’m [Am]fine, but I [Dm]hear those [C]voices, at [F]night some[Gm]times. [A#] [C]

[F]The star maker says it [Dm]ain’t so bad, [F]the dream-maker’s gonna [A#]make you mad. [A#]The spaceman says, [Dm]”Everybody look down, [Am]it’s all in your [C]mind.” [F]The star maker says it [Dm]ain’t so bad, [F]the dream-maker’s gonna [A#]make you mad. [A#]The spaceman says, [Dm]”Everybody look down, [Am]it’s all in your [C]mind.”

[Dm] [F] [A#] [A#] [Dm] [Am] [C] It’s all in my [F]mind. [Dm] [F] [A#] It’s all in my [A#]mind. [Dm] [Am] [C] [F] [Dm] [F] [A#] [A#] [Dm] [Am] [C] [F]
