Song: "Is Anybody Out There" Band: The Downtown Fiction Album: "The Downtown Fiction - EP" Year: 2009 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? Bb Bbm I'm reaching out.... Hey? Dm Is anybody out there? C Bb Bbm I'm coming down..... Hey? Dm Is anybody out there? C Bb Bbm 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 Bb 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? Bb Bbm I'm reaching out.... Hey? Dm Is anybody out there? C Bb Bbm I'm coming down..... Hey? Dm Is anybody out there? C Bb I'm freaking out... Bbm A I'm freaking out...
