|C   Am  |G  | 2x


[Verse 1]
      C       Am       G
Hey, you, how is your life?
     C        Am      G
Has something in you died?
  C            Am      G
Please don't think me rude
      C     Am     G
I've got a good excuse


[Pre-Chorus]
   F                  A
Oh, 'cause I've been ticking like a time bomb
G
 I've bit my tongue so much it's all gone
F              Am                      G
 My hands are tied and I've become so numb
             G
So numb, so numb, so numb


[Chorus]
 C                                              Em
Sending out a message to the corners of the universe
                     Am
A mayday from mother earth
                         C             G
The situation's so much worse than I thought
 C                                                    Em
Can you hear the boy stood in the middle of the Milky Way
                        Am
From ten billion miles away?
                       Bm
This is not where I belong
                    C    Am   G
Never was, take me home


[Verse 2]
      C          Am        G
Come dance while we still can
             C        Am        G
'Cause the plans they have for man ain't no good
    C       Am      G
I tried to warn you all, you all, you all


[Pre-Chorus]
F                 Am
 'Cause I've been ticking like a time bomb
G
 I've bit my tongue so much it's all gone
F              Am                      G
 My hands are tied and I've become so numb
             G
So numb, so numb, so numb


[Chorus]
 C                                              Em
Sending out a message to the corners of the universe
                     Am
A mayday from mother earth
                         C             G
The situation's so much worse than I thought
 C                                                    Em
Can you hear the boy stood in the middle of the Milky Way
                        Am
From ten billion miles away?
                       Bm
This is not where I belong
                    C
Never was, take me home

[Chorus]
 C                                              Em
Sending out a message to the corners of the universe
                     Am
A mayday from mother earth
                         C             G
The situation's so much worse than I thought
 C                                                    Em
Can you hear the boy stood in the middle of the Milky Way
                        Am
From ten billion miles away?
                       Bm
This is not where I belong
                    C
Never was, take me home
