Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
Stand in line, like military time,
flowers blooming up from dirt.
Wear the ties and complicated lies,
there's wrinkles on a fresh-pressed shirt.
He stands alone, conforming on his own,
he's thinking but he does not speak.
He tries to fight, the edge is on his mind,
but she is what he truly seeks.
But she is what he truly seeks.....
Chorus
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm reaching out.... Hey?
Is anybody out there?
I'm coming down..... Hey?
Is anybody out there?
I'm freaking out... I'm freaking out..
Verse 2
The heat does rise, performing double time,
The sweat is falling from his brow.
He's near his prize, but she begins to fly.
He knows that he must act, the time is now.
A dance, they play an ancient lover's game,
averts his eyes and chooses not to stare.
The trick, he sees, is aiming not to please,
pretending that he doesn't really care.
If you want her, then pretend that you don't care...
Chorus
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm reaching out.... Hey?
Is anybody out there?
I'm coming down..... Hey?
Is anybody out there?
I'm freaking out... I'm freaking out..

We're trapped inside a star, oh we have gone too far.
All we want is to escape, escape, escape....
Chorus
(no chord)
Hey, is there anybody out there?
So shout it out!
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm reaching out.... Hey?
Is anybody out there?
I'm coming down..... Hey?
Is anybody out there?
I'm freaking out...
I'm freaking out...
