Em7 Thought I was a spaceman Dm Digging out my heart Cmaj7 In some distant sand dunes Asus2 In a car park Em7 'Cause the desert had encroached upon Dm The places where we lived Cmaj7 People like me fight Asus2 To keep the demons in Em7 But we never succeeded Dm Cmaj7 We never succeeded Asus2 In fact, we failed Thought I was a spaceman digging out my heart In some distant sand dune in a car park By the empty harbour where the junk boat phantoms float The fight for Happy Valley Sadly, the line broke Thought I found my black box washed up on the shore On outlying islands past the land fall Thought I'd thought I'd found it but that was not true at all I'd walked into a bar, raised hell Cut the chasm out me, always and always the same Put the ghost in writing and let it be (You again) Thought I was a spaceman digging out my heart In some distant sand dune in Hyde Park Thought I was a spaceman digging out my heart In some distant sand dune, you again Thought I was a spaceman digging out my heart In some distant sand dune, you again, you again, you again You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsCm  Cmaj7  Cmaj  Dm  Em  Em7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
