On the [E]28th of [B]January [A]1986
Christa Mc[E]Auliffe gazed in [B]horror as the O-rings [A]failed
[A]And she died, and she died, and she died
For the [E]next agonising [B]two minutes and [A]forty five long seconds
She called [E]out the truth on a [B]broken [A]radio
[A]I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
It [B]came as some surprise to rea[E]lise that as she lost [A]everything
The [B]world was revealing a transmission so [E]real that she understood [A]everything
You're still [E]alive [B] [A]
You're still [E]alive[B] [A]
Four [E]thousand nautical [B]miles as the [A]crow flies away
[A]A home made ham [E]radio in the loft of a [B]Hampshire family [A]home
[A]Came alive, came alive, came alive
And so the [E]4 year old amateur [B]operator [A]thus became the only person to [E]hear
Christa's last [B]desperate communi[A]que
[A]We're alive, we're alive, we're alive
It [B]came as some surprise to rea[E]lise what he didn't catch [A]everything
The [B]world was revealing a transmission so [E]real that he understood [A]everything
E ?....
You're still alive
(E soft)
And Christa said
The [E]darkness up above[Am]
[B]Led me on like unrequited [C#m]love
While all the [Am]things I need
Were [B]down here in the deep blue sea
The [E]darkness up above[Am]
[B]Led me on like unrequited [C#m]love
While all the [Am]things I need
Were [B]down here in the deep blue sea
The [E]darkness up above[Am]
[B]Led me on like unrequited [C#m]love
While all the [Am]things I need
Were [B]down here in the deep blue sea
At [E]4 [Am]years old
I [B]heard the truth on my [C#m]radio
So [Am]now I keep a moments silence for my silent [E]key
My silent [E]key[B] [A]
My silent [E]key[B] [A]
My silent [E]key[B] [A]
E B A......
