Subject:  "The Space..." by Marillion


I really love this song: it has the word "Amsterdam" in it...


                "The Space..."

                 by Marillion


intro and first 3 verses:

        [Bm]     [F#sus4]       (8x)
        [D]      [F#m]          (8x)
        [Abm b5] [C#sus7]       (8x)
        [G]      [F#sus4]       (4x)
        [Em7]    [F#sus7]       (4x)

        On top of the world like a flag on a mountain
        Feeling so high you can feel so alone
        Unable to breathe at the height that you flew
        Staring on clouds with no view of below

        On top of a girl like a dream in a hotel
        Falling towards something out of control
        Unable te miss like the man in the tram
        Crashing your car in Amsterdam

        He did it without knowing
        Didn't feel a thing
        Just wrecked it and kept going

        [F#m] The space around the stars 
        is something that you [D] know
        [F#m] A billion miles of darkness 
        left you feeling [D] low
        [F#m] The space around the stars 
        is something that you [D] know

same chords as intro and first 3 verses:

        Everything about you
        So perfectly restrained
        But everything inside you
        Bites you...

solo:

        [F#m] [C#sus7] [F#m] [C#m]      (12x)
        [Dm]  [Asus7]  [Dm]  [Am]       (4x)

        Every[Dm]body in the whole of the [Asus7] world
        Is the [Am] same inside [C]
        Every[Dm]body in the whole of the [Asus7] whole of the
        whole of the [Am] world [C]
        Every[Dm]one is only everyone [Asus7] else
        Every[Am]body's got to [C] know
        Every[Dm]body loves and loves and [Em] laughs and cries
        and [F] eats and sleeps and [G] grows and dies
