Intro – Chords

F#              C#              E               B               x2


VERSE 1
E
November promises it seems,
E
Broken February dreams
E
That don’t come true,
E
But do you remember me? 
E       E       F           G   
I don’t remember you
E       D#      C#      B           A
Were you the one who liked to sing?
A
Or just some other one, it’s strange
E       D#      C#      B           A
How Paige remains she stays the same
A
And we’re always changing

CHORUS 1

F#                         C#
We are driving on the ceiling, 
            E         B
There are aliens on motorcycles,
F#                    C#
Riding in the radio
            E                          B
While we destroy the world
           F#               C#
I said, Oh oh oh no no,
               E                            B
And the news it read the future’s dead,
            F#                     C#
When Elvis went to Hollywood,
E           B       
That’s when….  STOP

F#              C#              E               B               x2
VERSE 2
E
So long goodbye,
E
The taste of wedding cakes,
E
The sound of nursery rhymes,
E
The ghost of Fredriksberg,
E
Of Alex Chilton,
E
Of Victor Frankenstein,
E       D#      C#      B           
The girl you always loved,
       A
The one you have no memory of,
E       D#      C#      B           
It’s strange how Paige remains,
                       A
She paid for rain on the invasion

CHORUS 2
F#                         C#
We are driving on the ceiling, 
            E         B
There are aliens on motorcycles,
F#                    C#
Hiding in the radio
            E                          B
While we devour the world
           F#               C#
I said, Oh oh oh no no,
               E                            B
And the future said the news is dead
            F#                     C#
When Elvis went to Hollywood,
E           B       
That’s when….  STOP

VERSE 3

                    E          B
The god of Maine proclaimed,
       A
The last evacuation of a dream.
        E
The gospel screamed
                   A
A song of movie stars
                               E
And girlie magazines
E       D#      C#      B           
The spaceman too
                  A
From somewhere far away

You have to say it’s strange
E       D#      C#      B           
We wait in vain,
                       A
The rocket’s came and now we’re fading


CHORUS 3
F#                         C#
We are hiding on the ceiling, 
            E         B
There are aliens on motorcycles,
F#                    C#
Riding from the radio
            E                          B
While they destroy the world
           F#               C#
I said, Oh oh oh no no,
               E                            B
And the paper’s said the king is dead
            F#                     C#
When Elvis went to Hollywood,
E           B       
That’s when….  STOP
