Verse 1: (one guitar plays riff 1, another plays the chords)
C Gm
Miracle people with marvelous hair
Bb F
And a knack to do anything better than anyone
C Gm
I got a home with electrical air
Bb F
And I live in a world smaller than anyone's
C Gm
But I got a line on a new frontier
Bb F
I got a line on the new America
C Gm
All of the people are vanishing here
Bb F
I could be huge if I could just get

From the outside of everything to the inside of you

From the outside of everything to the inside of you
Verse 2: (with riff 1)
C Gm Bb F
Purest Aluminum people are walking the streets of London so hysterical
C Gm
Nobody here gets a word that I say
Bb F
And the problems, I'm told, are more than medical
C Gm
But I got a friend from the new frontier
Bb F
And Galen, she says, "This is not America.
C Gm
You need a girl with electrical hair
Bb F
And the word that you wanted was aluminium."
Chorus 2:
Gm Am Dm C
From the outside of everything to the inside of you

I was in bed with a girl at the end of the world
F Gm C Gm Bb F

C Gm

Bb F
Here at the edge of the flat earth ending
C Gm
I'm getting off to get lost in the air
Bb F
At the end of the world where the light is bending

Gm Am Dm C
From the outside of everything to the inside of you
