Em  C  Em  G Em 


[Verse 1]
G           C                   Em
We met like strangers through a smoke screen.
G            C             Em
Downtown we danced a razor's edge.
G            C                Em             A
You fed the slot machines; an old routine on cold caffeine.
G            C             Em
Uptown he's standing on a ledge.


[Chorus]
D          G                     C           D
My head is screaming "Oh, we're from another world"
          G                C                  D
I must be dreaming but you suit those plastic pearls
           G                     C              D      C 
My head is screaming "Oh, we're from another world"


[Solo]
G  C  G   Em G D C  


[Verse 2]
G          C            Em 
And I felt dizzy on the cut through.
G          C             Em
Four teddy boys in Battersea.
G              C               Em                  A
You wore your old tattoo, that lipstick blue still sticks
            G      C       Em
To you just as it did in '53.


[Chorus]
D          G                     C           D
My head is screaming "Oh, we're from another world"
          G                C                  D
I must be dreaming but you suit those plastic pearls
           G                     C              D      C 
My head is screaming "Oh, we're from another world"

[Solo]
G  C   G   Am C G 


[Bridge]
G               B             C       G 
Oh, oh, oh, the whole world's just a show.
      B        C        G
Hold fast and don't let go...
                 B             C      G
Oh, oh, oh, the whole world's just a show.
      B        C         G 
Hold fast and don't let go...
                 B             C      G
Oh, oh, oh, the whole world's just a show.
      B        C
Hold fast and don't let go...
 

[Solo]
G  C Em 


[Chorus]
D          G                     C           D
My head is screaming "Oh, we're from another world"
          G                C                  D
I must be dreaming but you suit those plastic pearls
           G                     C              D      C 
My head is screaming "Oh, we're from another world"
