  B                                     G#m
There's a big, black picture and it's hanging on the wall.
       E                             D#m
With stars and all the planets, the milky way and all.
    C#m                          G#m                 E
And in the left hand corner, perhaps a small white dwarf,
 C#m      G#m                E                B
Ready to explode, implode I really can't recall

Chorus:
          F#                 C#m     G#m
But it's out there, and I'm down here.
    F#  E          B
And so far from it all

Everything's expanding in a constant state of change.
Everything's demanding in a constant state of pain.
You radiate away. Your last remaining heat
Your atmosphere has blown away when you admit defeat

Chorus:
But its out there (don't know where we are)
And I'm down here (don't know why we are)
And so far from it all

      C#m                    G#m       E
Your time, your grace, your story in place,
      C#m        G#m  F#  E
your life-span erased

There's a big, black picture and it's hanging on your wall.
With stars and all the planets, the milky way and all.
And in the left hand corner, perhaps a small white dwarf,
Ready to explode, implode I really can't recall

Chorus:
But it's out there (don't know where we are)
And I'm down here (don't know why we are)
And so far from it all

And I'm out here (don't know where we are)
Down where (don't know why we are)
I'm so far from it all
