Verse 1:
Gm                  Dm
Stand in line, like military time,
F                       C
flowers blooming up from dirt.
Gm                Dm
Wear the ties and complicatd lies,
        C                           F
there's wrinkles on a fresh-pressed shirt.
   Gm              Dm
He stands alone, conforming on his own,
     F                        C
he's thinking but he does not speak.
   Gm                  Dm
He tries to fight, the edge is on his mind,
   F                     C
but she is what he truly seeks.
   Dm                    A
But she is what he truly seeks.....

Chorus:
F               Dm
Hey, is anybody out there?
            A#       A#m
I'm reaching out.... Hey?
          Dm   
Is anybody out there?
    C      A#      A#m
I'm coming down..... Hey?
           Dm      
Is anybody out there?
    C        A#        A#m       A
I'm freaking out... I'm freaking out..
(This verse sounds better with a different chord progression than the 1st.)
Verse 2:
    Gm                 Dm
The heat does rise, performing double time,
    F                       C
The sweat is falling from his brow.
    Gm                   Dm
He's near his prize, but she begins to fly.
   C                                 F
He knows that he must act, the time is now.
  Gm                  Dm
A dance, they play an ancient lover's game,
 F                                 C
averts his eyes and chooses not to stare.
    Gm                  Dm
The trick, he sees, is aiming not to please,
  F                               C
pretending that he doesn't really care.
       Dm                                   A
If you want her, then pretend that you don't care...

(Chorus)

Bridge:
      Dm                        F
We're trapped inside a star, oh we have gone too far.
Gm                  Dm      A#     A
All we want is to escape, escape, escape....

Chorus:
F                         Dm
Hey, is there anybody out there?
   A        Gm
So shout it out!
               Dm
Hey, is anybody out there?
            A#       A#m
I'm reaching out.... Hey?
          Dm   
Is anybody out there?
    C      A#      A#m
I'm coming down..... Hey?
           Dm      
Is anybody out there?
    C        A#       
I'm freaking out...
    A#m      A
I'm freaking out...
