AmInviDmsiblGe companCy, a house of smoke and stale perfume
AmShe makes her seventh Dmcup Gof tea, I Cstalk desperately from room to room
AmLike two straDmngers oGn a trCain, neither one will hardly speak
AmI dreamt Dma dream of old GHavaCna, she C7played the blues upon my grand piano
Chorus:
FYou Gskyjack my Csoul, Ghijack my Amscreams, Dmkidnap my A7baby, so handsome 
You’ve Fstolen my Gbank (?) Cmillion Gdollar Amdreams
DeDmmanding my Glife as your Cransom
Stamped her foot, clinched her fist, closed her  face and slashed her wrist
I pretend (?), the little (?) bee around my lotus
Which that we could travel more, life’s become a bloody bore
It would be so nice to everyone, we’ve never been on holiday
Chorus
Little sailor lost in space, navigating through the storms
How I hope that you will find a place where you can heel the scars
Chorus

Chords in this song · guitar

Am Dm G C

Invisible company, a house of smoke and stale perfume

Am Dm G C

She makes her seventh cup of tea, I stalk desperately from room to room

Am Dm G C

Like two strangers on a train, neither one will hardly speak

Am Dm G C C7

I dreamt a dream of old Havana, she played the blues upon my grand piano

Chorus:

F G C G Am Dm A7

You skyjack my soul, hijack my screams, kidnap my baby, so handsome

F G C G Am

You’ve stolen my bank (?) million dollar dreams

Dm G C

Demanding my life as your ransom

Stamped her foot, clinched her fist, closed her face and slashed her wrist

I pretend (?), the little (?) bee around my lotus

Which that we could travel more, life’s become a bloody bore

It would be so nice to everyone, we’ve never been on holiday

Chorus

Little sailor lost in space, navigating through the storms

How I hope that you will find a place where you can heel the scars

Chorus
