 <br/>
 Satellite<br/>
 from Spike<br/>
 tabbed by ah-HA! Pronoun trouble <br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 [intro]  Em  C#m  A  B  <br/>
 <br/>
 E                   C#m<br/>
 She looked like she learned to dance<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 B             A<br/>
 >From a series of still pictures<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 E             C#m<br/>
 She's madly excited now<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 B                       A<br/>
 She throws her hands up like a tulip<br/>
 <br/>
                                                           G#7/B#<br/>
 B                 G#7/B#       C#m   F#7/A#  B         -----------<br/>
 She looks like an illustration of a cocktail party     | | 1 1 1 |<br/>
                                                        | | | | | 2<br/>
                                                        | 3 | | | |<br/>
       G#m                   G#7/B#<br/>
 Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
     C#m         F#7/A#  B                    A<br/>
 Champagne rolls off her tongue like a second language<br/>
 <br/>
                                                           F#7/A#<br/>
        B                    E                          --x--------   <br/>
 And it should have been her biggest night              | | 1 | | |<br/>
                                                        | | | | 2 |<br/>
                                                        3 | | 3 | |<br/>
     A               F#             B     B7/D#   E<br/>
 The satellite looks down on her as she begins to cry<br/>
 <br/>
                                                           B7/D#<br/>
 tacet        C#m                    A                  -----------<br/>
 All over the world at the very same time               | | 1 | | |<br/>
                                                        | | | 2 | 2<br/>
                                                        | | | | | |<br/>
        B           B7/D# E<br/>
 People sharing the same sorrow<br/>
 <br/>
  <br/>
        C#m             A<br/>
 As the satellite looks down<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
     B               A                 B7<br/>
 Her darkest hour is somebody's bright tomorrow<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 E              C#m       B               A<br/>
 He pulled on a cigarette in the crook of his first finger<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 E                 C#m           B              A<br/>
 Felt the static electric charge of her perfect hourglass figure<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
    B                G#7/B#            C#m     F#7/A#   B<br/>
 As he undressed her with his eyes her weakness was his talent<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
     G#m               G#7/B#                  C#m<br/>
 How could she know as she stepped through the lights<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
          F#7/A#   B              A<br/>
 That her dress would become transparent<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
     B                     E<br/>
 And with his face pressed to the screen<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
    A                   F#            B      B7/D#     E<br/>
 He muttered words he'd never dare to say if she could see him<br/>
 <br/>
  <br/>
 tacet        C#m                    A<br/>
 All over the world at the very same time<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
        B           B7/D#         E<br/>
 People sharing the same cheap sensation<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
     C#                 A       <br/>
 The thrill of watching somebody watching<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 B               A               B7<br/>
 Those forbidden things we never mention<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 [chorus]<br/>
 <br/>
     E     C#m7      A          B7        E<br/>
 The satellite looks down right now and forever<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
      C#m7           A         B7<br/>
 What it has pulled apart, let no man tether<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 G#m                 F#                          F#m<br/>
 His own body to his dream, his dream to someone else<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
             B    B7<br/>
 Oh no, oh no<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
          E                   C#m         B            A<br/>
 She went back to her pitiful compromise, he'd go back to his family<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 E                       C#m                 B         A <br/>
 But for the matter of a thousand miles that separated them entirely<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
        B            G#7/B#             C#m     F#7/A# B<br/>
 In the hot unloving spotlight with the secrets it arouses<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 G#m                G#7/B#         C#m F#7/A#  B           A<br/>
 Now they both know what it's like inside a pornographer's trousers<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
          B               E<br/>
 And in a funny way it's anonymous<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
     A             F#             B           B7/D#       E    C#m<br/>
 The satellite, it blesses us and makes these dreams come true<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 A            C#m                    A<br/>
 All over the world at the very same time<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
              C#m<br/>
 All over the world<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 [chorus]<br/>
 <br/>
 [last 2 chords are  B7 and Dsus2, which is a regular D with the E open]<br/>
