G Em D C G [Verse]
Em Sunday morning with the New York Times
D The sun is shining in my penthouse suite
C My lady love laid down some lines
G They reach from Culver Beach to Easy Street [Verse]
Em Before the mirror you apply your cream
D Cosmetic secrets of eternal youth
C There's something the matter, it's just a bad dream
Em G I know you'd leave me if you knew the truth [Chorus]
Em I might as well be on Mars
Em I might as well be on Mars
D C G Only the stars mean anything to you
Em I might as well be on Mars
Em I might as well be on Mars
D C Am I'm already that far away from you
Continues after the ad
[Bridge]
Em Am We lead such a sweet existence
Em Am But I'm reaching out to you in vain
Em You're disappearing in the distance
D C G Of this alien terrain [Chorus]
Em I might as well be on Mars
Em I might as well be on Mars
D C G Only the stars mean anything to you
Em I might as well be on Mars
Em I might as well be on Mars
D C I'm already that far away from you [Instrumental]
Am Em Am Em D C G [Verse]
Em Monday night, another day goes by
D Your voice keeps telling me that life is sweet
C I watch your star flash into the sky
Em G Crash down to earth again on Easy Street [Chorus]
Em I might as well be on Mars
Em I might as well be on Mars
D C G Only the stars mean anything to you
Em I might as well be on Mars
Em I might as well be on Mars
D C G I'm already that far away from you [Chorus]
Em I might as well be on Mars
Em I might as well be on Mars
D C G Only the stars mean anything to you
Em I might as well be on Mars
Em I might as well be on Mars
D C G I'm already that far away from you
