[intro]  Em  C#m  A  B

E                   C#m
She looked like she learned to dance


B             A
>From a series of still pictures


E             C#m
She's madly excited now


B                       A
She throws her hands up like a tulip

                                    
                      G#7/B#
B                 G#7/B#       
She looks like an illustration 
C#m   F#7/A#  B         -----------
of a cocktail party     | | 1 1 1 |

                   | 3 | | | |
      G#m                   G#7/B#
Where cartoon bubbles burst in the 
air


    C#m         F#7/A#  B        
Champagne rolls off her tongue 
            A
like a second language

       B                    E       
                      F#7/A#
                   --x--------
And it should have been her biggest 
night              | | 1 | | |

    A               F#             
The satellite looks down on her as 
B     B7/D#   E
she begins to cry

                      B7/D#
A                  -----------
All over the world at the very same 
time               | | 1 | | |

                   | | | | | |
       B           B7/D# E
People sharing the same sorrow


       C#m             A
As the satellite looks down

    B               A        
Her darkest hour is somebody's 
         B7
bright tomorrow

E              C#m       B      
He pulled on a cigarette in the 
         A
crook of his first finger


E                 C#m           
Felt the static electric charge 
B              A
of her perfect hourglass figure


   B                G#7/B#        
As he undressed her with his eyes 
    C#m     F#7/A#   B
her weakness was his talent


    G#m               G#7/B#      
How could she know as she stepped 
            C#m
through the lights


         F#7/A#   B       
That her dress would become 
       A
transparent


    B                     E
And with his face pressed to the 
screen


   A                   F#         
He muttered words he'd never dare 
   B      B7/D#     E
to say if she could see him


tacet        C#m                    
A
All over the world at the very same 
time


       B           B7/D#    
People sharing the same cheap 
     E
sensation


    C#                 A
The thrill of watching somebody 
watching


B               A               
Those forbidden things we never 
B7
mention

[chorus]

    E     C#m7      A          
The satellite looks down right 
B7        E
now and forever


     C#m7           A         B7
What it has pulled apart, let no man
 tether


G#m                 F#           
His own body to his dream, his 
               F#m
dream to someone else


            B    B7
Oh no, oh no

         E                  
She went back to her pitiful 
 C#m         B            A
compromise, he'd go back to his 
family


E                       C#m      
But for the matter of a thousand 
           B         A
miles that separated them entirely


       B            G#7/B#        
In the hot unloving spotlight with
     C#m     F#7/A# B
 the secrets it arouses


G#m                G#7/B#         
Now they both know what it's like 
C#m F#7/A#  B           A
inside a pornographer's trousers


         B               E
And in a funny way it's anonymous


    A             F#             
The satellite, it blesses us and 
B           B7/D#       E    C#m
makes these dreams come true


A            C#m                 
All over the world at the very 
   A
same time


             C#m
All over the world
