[Intro]

Em C#m A B

E                              C#m
She looked like she learned to dance

B                    A
  From a series of still pictures

E                    C#m
She's madly excited now

B                                       A
She throws her hands up like a tulip

G#7/B#
B                          G#7/B#      C#m    F#7/A#    B 
She looks like an illustration of a   cocktail    party  
           G#m                              G#7/B#
Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air

       C#m               F#7/A#   B                                A
Champagne rolls off her    tongue like a second language

           B                                  E  
And it should have been her biggest night  
        A                     F#                     B      B7/D#    E
The satellite looks down on her as she begins to cry

B7/D#

tacet            C#m                               A  
All over the world at the very same time 
            B                  B7/D# E
People sharing the same sorrow

            C#m                 A
As the satellite looks down

       B                        A                            B7
Her darkest hour is somebody's bright tomorrow

E                      C#m         B                      A
He pulled on a cigarette in the crook of his first finger

E                      C#m                B                      A
Felt the static electric charge of her perfect hourglass figure

      B                          G#7/B#                C#m        F#7/A#    B
As he undressed her with his eyes her weakness was his talent

        G#m                       G#7/B#                             C#m
How could she know as she stepped through the lights

               F#7/A#    B                        A
That her dress would become transparent

        B                                 E
And with his face pressed to the screen

       A                               F#                 B        B7/D#       E
He muttered words he'd never dare to say if she could see him

tacet            C#m                               A
All over the world at the very same time

             B                 B7/D#            E
People sharing the same cheap sensation

        C#                         A
The thrill of watching somebody watching

B                          A                        B7
Those forbidden things we never mention

[chorus]

        E    C#m7          A               B7             E
The satellite looks down right now and forever

         C#m7             A             B7
What it has pulled apart, let no man tether

G#m                          F#                                            F#m
His own body to his dream, his dream to someone else

                    B    B7
Oh no, oh no

                E                           C#m               B                   A
She went back to her pitiful compromise, he'd go back to his family

E                                  C#m                          B               A
But for the matter of a thousand miles that separated them entirely

           B                   G#7/B#                C#m     F#7/A# B
In the hot unloving spotlight with the secrets it arouses

G#m                          G#7/B#          C#m F#7/A#  B                A
Now they both know what it's like inside a pornographer's trousers

               B                      E
And in a funny way it's anonymous

        A                F#                    B                   B7/D#            E     C#m
The satellite, it blesses us and makes these dreams come true

A                 C#m                               A
All over the world at the very same time

                   C#m
All over the world

[Ulangi chorus]

[B7 and Dsus2,  D  E ]
