D                                     F#m
He went twenty thousand light-years from home
       Bm                            Bm7/A
And agreed he'll be the next to be lowered
              G                                    D
And though he knew that life ain't just a good start
                 E                  F#
The advance did break him

[Verse 2]
        D                                   F#m
Filling textures on some tear-weathered note
       Bm                               Bm7/A
And on purpose he just spelled them all wrong
              G                                    D
And though he knew that life ain't just a good start
                 E                  F#
He didn't even count with

[Chorus]
    D               A        Bm            F#m
The wild must be drawn into papers at once
Em                                F#
And if you got money then share it too
    D            A               Bm              F#m
The race will begin when it's finished of course
Em                                F#
   And if there's some money then share it too
G                                       D    F#
   And if there's some money then share it too

[Verse 3]
           D                        F#m
You're the oldest star ever to fall
        Bm                           Bm7/A
Yet you didn't you have failed to be sold
               G                                  D
And though you know that life ain't just a good start
                E                  F#
Your blues forgotten

[Chorus]
    D               A        Bm            F#m
The wild must be drawn into papers at once
Em                                F#
And if you got money then share it too
    D            A               Bm              F#m
The race will begin when it's finished of course
Em                                F#
   And if there's some money then share it too
G                                       
   And if there's some money then share...
