	        Tuning: Standard 
 
 
Here are the chords to the band's title track from their 2004 album. Much of this song 
is acoustic based, with Simon LeBon playing these chords live and Andy Taylor playing 
along for some of them. Andy also does some extra work on the electric in parts of the 
song, as well. 
 
Verse One: 
Em                  B     Asus2  Am 
Makes my hair stand up on end 
Something alien happening 
Synchronized but don't comprehend 
Coz where I stop that's where you begin 
 
I know the moment I commit 
A pleasure rising when I take the hit 
And I'm addicted to state you're in 
Cos you're getting me out of it 
A E D Wasted There is nothing gonna ace this And we're gonna go to space kid Cos I'm leaving with an astronaut
Verse Two: Em B Asus2 Am Groovin-out to x-ray spex Something tells me you're the alien sex I can't imagine now; what comes next When this astronaut connects? Coming-on when I touch your skin A kind of strange light you emit I feel your gravity pull me in Now you're getting me out of it
A E D Wasted There is nothing gonna ace this And we're gonna go to space kid Cos I'm leaving with an astronaut
(Repeat Again) Bridge: (No Chords Played Here) Bare-feet for quantam leap Because space is hot and deep And we follow giant footprints as we fall... in falling like the twins through Saturn's holy rings And if they can't hold us Where it's gonna end up - anybody knows Interlude: A E D An A-stronaut An A-stronaut
A E D Wasted There is nothing gonna ace this And we're gonna go to space kid Cos I'm leaving with an astronaut (Repeat Again)
Finale: A E D Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut There are many upstrokes here... and they follow the same pattern throughout the song: Em: down, up up up B: up, down, up Asus2: up Am: down, up A; down, up up up E: up, down, up D: up, down, up
 
And here's how it should look in tab form... try to hit some of the bottom strings when 
playing Em as well for a better sound.
