Intro C Am7 C  Am7 

Verse 

C                        Am7 
I'm staring through a telescope at night 
C                       Am7 
at a large light in the sky 
C                       Am7         F 
Its spinning lights reminded me of you 
Fm                             C   G   C/E 
A star spinning in orbit lighting up the sky 
Dm                            G 
Or maybe it was not a star at all 

Verse 

C                           Am7 
I'm standing by the Hudson River's edge at night 
C                           Am7 
looking out across the Jersey shore 
C                    Am7                F 
At a neon light spelling out some cola's name 
Fm  
And I thought your name should be dancing 
C      G     C/E 
beamed from satellites 
Dm                            G 
Larger than any billboard in Times Square
