NOTES:
Thanks to Richard for his instrumental parts.

The guitar figure in the intro is played over the C and D chords,
which are played with a steady, chugging beat, which continues into
the verses. I've indicated barre chords, below, because you can 
generate a nice groove on this song. Enjoy!

VERSE:
C                       D         G                 A
  She's on her way back down now, been awake for 48 hours
C                       G                    D
Standing underneath the shower in her summer dress


VERSE:  
On her way back down, can't remember anything much
On the way she lost her touch and her happiness


CHORUS 1:
D             G                 D
  One silence   in a mist of chaos
               G                     D
  Take comfort   in the roar of take-off
                     F     C        G
  Street lights have faded all over town
D                      F       C           A
  It looks like you've made it all the way down

VERSE:
I lower my eyes when I find you, 
As pale as the midday moon.
A creature from the Black Lagoon made you his queen.


VERSE:
The wind is playing in the tree tops
A helicopter circles round
Looking for a place to put down this heavy dream


CHORUS 2:
D             G                 D
  One silence   in a mist of chaos
               G                     D
  Take comfort   in the roar of take-off
                     F     C        G
  Street lights have faded all over town
D                 F       C               G
  And you can't escape it   where you are now
D                      F                   A
  It looks like you've made it all the way down

CHORUS 3:
D                    F     C        G
  Street lights have faded all over town
D                 F       C             G

  It looks like you've made it all the way down
