Amaj9 B7sus4/A Amaj9 B7sus4/A

Laser guns are set to stun, sabres interlaced

Amaj9 B7sus4/A Amaj9 B7sus4/A

And try to numb the one who shuns the world for inner space

E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7sus4

And nothing comes between the sadness and the screen

E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7

Exploding rooms of pain dematerialise again

Amaj9 B7sus4/A Amaj9 B7sus4/A

And gogo bars fill with showbiz stars and Fridays set aflame

Amaj9 B7sus4/A Amaj9 B7sus4/A

Crashing cars, sunburst guitars, amphetamines and fame

E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7

Crawling from the smash, aliens all slain

E7sus4 E7 E7sus4

A beam of light and a flash, lifts you up to where

You know that you that you can choose to

F#m F E7sus4 E7

Never have to feel that way again

CHORUS

The clocks to whirl and race, till my girl is returned

E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7sus4

Rushed into my arms, at the speed of light

E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7sus4

Delivered safe from harm, knowing that she’ll

F#m F E7sus4 E7

Never have to feel that the night is hers alone
