  You're like a man alone in outer space,
C            F            G
Cradling the Earth in the palm of his hand

C            F      C              F
  You orbit around, tempted by her face,
  C          F         G
A beauty so alive, she leaves you spellbound

Am               C                | F Fm |
  Even the stars   seem to burn for her
