D         A 
Here I am again 
G                            D 
Waiting on the moment you decide 
              A             G 
To leave me stranded on the edge of nowhere 
D              A             G 
I've been so close to you so many times 
                     D 
I feel like I could drown 
            A             G 
I wish that I could fly away from here 

                      Bm  G 
But I'm still coming down 
          A 
From the last time 
                 Bm  G 
That you came around 
        A 
In the starlight 
         Bm               G    A 
Now I'm pulling to your gravity 

Spinning helplessly 
    Em                   A 
I'm falling through the night 
        Em         D    G 
Like a lonely satellite 
              D           G 
Like a lonely satellite 

D               A 
We walked on Jupiter 
G                               D 
Fool around the moon a time or two 
        A             G 
Left a mark on every star we could find 
D           A              G 
But now I'm burning like a meteor 
                     D 
That never hits the ground 
          A            G 
Wish that I could fly away from you 

                      Bm  G 
But I'm still coming down 
          A 
From the last time 
                 Bm  G 
That you came around 
        A 
In the starlight 
         Bm               G    A 
Now I'm pulling to your gravity 

Spinning helplessly 
    Em                   A 
I'm falling through the night 
        Em         Bm 
Like a lonely satellite 

                      A 
Love is poisoning the atmosphere 
G                                Bm 
Is keeping everything unclear to me 
                  D 
Something in your eyes 
            A 
Never satisfies 
                 G        D  A  G   D  A  G 
I'm feeling so alone, tonight 

                      Bm  G 
But I'm still coming down (still coming down) 
          A 
From the last time (the last time) 
                 Bm  G 
That you came around (you came around) 
        A 
In the starlight (the starlight) 
         Bm               G   A 
Now I'm pulling to your gravity (ooooh) 

Spinning helplessly 
     G                   A 
I'm falling through the night (falling through the night) 
         G                   A 
Yes I'm falling through the night (falling through the night) 
        Em           D   G 
Like a lonely satellite 
              D         G 
Like a lonely satellite
