Verse:

A              F#m7            A         F#m7
Laser guns are set to stun, sabers interlinked
      A              F#m7             A               F#m
And try to know the one who shuns the world for inner space
Dsus2                E7        F#m7             E7
And nothing comes between the sadness and the scream
Dsus2               E7   F#m7    E7            E7sus4
Exploding rooms of pain       dematerialise again
    A                     F#m7                  A        F#m7
And gogo bars filled with showgirl stars and Friday set aflame
A                  F#m7                 A         F#m
Crashing cars, sunburst guitars, amphetamines and fame
Dsus2               E7     F#m7      E7
Crawling from the smash, aliens all slain
    Dsus2               E7       F#m7
A beam of light and a flash,    lifts you up to where
      E7sus4
You know that you that you can choose to
F#m7            F#m      E7sus4   E7
Never have to feel that way again
Chorus:
A                                F#m7              E7         
A
   Rushing through the stars,  captivated by the worlds beyond
F#m7      E7       A
So far, unknown...
                   F#m7                      E7       A
Floating in a car,     past the gates of MustDestroy.com
F#m       E7             Dsus2               E7sus4  
  E7
You are alone, it’s a small world, and you’ve grown.

Intro x2

Verse:
A               F#m7     A                F#m7
I don’t want to wait, I want the world to turn
A                       F#m7      A           F#m
The clocks to whirl and race, so my girl is returned
Dsus2           E7   F#m7            E7sus4
Rushed into my arms, at the speed of light
Dsus2                   E7   F#m7
To live with safe from harm,    knowing that you’ll
 E7   F#m7     F#m          E7sus4         E7
Never have to feel that the night is hers alone

End:

A                        F#m7         E7sus4   E7    A
Rushing through the stars, captivated by the worlds beyond,
F#m      E7      A
So far, unknown...

Floating in a car, past the gates of MustDestroy.com
F#m       E7           A
You are, alone...

Rushing through the stars, captivated by the worlds beyond

You are alone, it’s a small world, and you’ve grown.
