E D A E
I got a call from the boys from school,
E D A E
Said they're wondering what they can do,
E D A E
They're wondering if & when they can meet you...
E D A E
E D E x2
E A x2
[Verse 2]
E
September chills in the air,
A E
Everybody acts like they just don't care,
A
Oh, I really wish you would come & talk to them...
E A
Yeah, hear they're building a new tire plant,
E
In the middle of the woods, next to the Coca-Cola stand,
A E A
Aww, this little town is changing...
E A
Well, that's what they said when I called last week,
E
And the whole town was in bed, and half asleep,
E
I just hung up the phone & cried,
A
Nothin's ever gonna change down there..
[Pre-Chorus]
B A
Down in this hard land everybody's quicksand with nowhere to go,
B A
But I don't have the guts to go back there alone, Knowing what I know,
A
So I'll just telephone to them...
[Chorus]
E A
Hello, hello from Venus...
E A
Hello, hello from Venus...
[Verse 3]
E
Viewing the whole world from a peep hole,
A
Is how I feel out on the road,
E A
Somehow through my eyes I've managed to de-tach myself...
E
And Mr. Cryin' All The Time,
A E
He say's it's his as well as mine, I tell him let it breathe, it's borrowed
A E
Ooh, but he won't listen anymore, He's dirty, he's poor
E A
Besides, he's pulled so long, I'm torn & bleeding...
[Pre-Chorus]
B A
Down in this hard land everybody's quick sand, With nowhere to flow,
B A
And I don't have the guts to go back there alone, Knowing what I know
E
So I just telephone to them...
E A
Hello, hello from Venus...
E A
Hello, hello from Venus...Hello
[Solo]
E D x4
B A
My friends, the one's who can't see through,
B A
Don't let the hard life get the best of you,
A
Before there's someone...out there...waiting... Waiting just for you...
[Chorus]
E A
Hello, hello from Venus...
E A
Hello, hello from Venus...
E A x4
E D
Hello, hello from Venus...
E D
Hello, hello from Venus...
