1. A bang then stardust in your eyes,
Gm D
a billion years for just this night;
A D A
in a way it will be alright
A blackness then the light of a million stars,
as you slip into in my car;
the evening sky strikes sparks
D G
R: This life, this life and then the next,
F#m G
with you I have been blessed
D A
What more can you expect?
2. At night at my telescope alone,
this emptiness I've roamed;
searching for a home
The stars, a brief string of shining charms,
rushing in right out of our arms;
into the drifting dark
R: This life, this life and then the next...
R1: This life, this life and then the next,
I finger the hem of your dress
My universe at rest
Bm F#m
3. We reach for starlight all night long,
G
but gravity is too strong;
D
chained to this earth we go on and on and on and on and on
Bm D
Then a million sighs cresting were you stood,
Bm
a beauty in the neighborhood;
G D A
this lonely planet never looked so good
R: This life, this life and then the next...
R1: This life, this life and then the next...
