Tom: Em
Em Am Em
I had a dream you left me for someone who was mean to me
Am D
So I cried and left for Mexico
Em Am Em Am
Where I tried to learn to surf by riding a machine that I kept beside the window
D Em G Am D Em G Am
It was not a good way to be
D Em G Am D Em G Am D
Not a good way to be
[Veres 2]
Em Am Em Am
I had a dream I was in school, I was learning from the best how to overcome my blues
D Em Am Em
They said, here's a spider in a bowl, here's Poseidon's white bull
Am D
Now, just pretend you have the right to choose
[Chorus]
G D C G
And I said, am I an alien here?
D C G
Here in the cave of my skull
D C G
Crawling around in the dark
D C Em
Dark to the ones I love
[Instrumental]
Em G Am D x4
[Bridge]
Em D Am D Em
Put fodder on the fire, get water from the well
D Am
It's a simple kind of life
Em D Am D G D C
And happiness is easy, it's a story that you tell, it's a teardrop in your eye
[Instrumental]
Bm Em x4

And I had a dream that he died, and he died, then he died, and then papa died too

And somewhere in the world an evil genius was on the rise
G Am
And then Bowie died, and everybody said
C
Well, what are we gonna do?
[Chorus]
G D C G
Am I an alien here?
D C G
Here in the cave of my skull
D C G
Crawling around in the dark

Dark to the ones I love

Am I an alien here?

Here in my room
