^{Key: :[E] (w: David Byrne)}
INTRO: [E] [A] [E] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
[E] And she was [A] lying in the [E] grass
[E] And she could [A] hear the highway [E] breathing
[E] And she could [A] see a nearby [E] factory
[E] She's making [A] sure she is not [E] dreaming

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[Bb] See the [F] lights of the [C] neighbor's [F] house
[Bb] Now she's [C] starting to [F] rise
[Bb] Take a [F] minute to [C] concen-[F]-trate
And [Bb] she opens [G] up her [C] eyes

CHORUS:
[E] The world was [A] moving
She was [D] right there [A] with it
And she [E] was [A] [D] [A]
[E] The world was [A] moving
She was [D] floating [A] above it
And she [E] was [A] [D] [A]

BREAK:
And she [E] was [A] [E] // [E] [A] [E]

VERSE 2:
[E] And she was [A] drifting thorugh the [E] backyard
[E] And she was [A] taking off her [E] dress
[E] And she was [A] moving very [E] slowly
[E] Rising [A] up above the [E] earth

PRE-CHORUS 2:
[Bb] Moving [F] into the [C] uni-[F]-verse
[Bb] Drifting [C] this way and [F] that
[Bb] Now [F] touching the [C] ground at [F] all
[Bb] Up a-[G]-bove the [C] yard

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
She was [Bm] glad about it, no doubt about it
[G] She isn't sure about where she's gone
[Bm] No time to think about what to tell them
[G] No time to think about what she's done
And she [E] was [A] [E] // [E] [A] [E]

VERSE 3:
[E] And she was [A] looking at her-[E]-self
[E] And things were [A] looking like a [E] movie
[E] She had a [A] pleasant ele-[E]-vation
[E] She's moving [A] out in all [E] directions

PRE-CHORUS 3:
[Bb] Oh, [F] oh, [C] oh [F]
[Bb] Oh, [C] oh, [F] oh
[Bb] Oh, [F] oh, [C] oh [F]
[Bb] Oh, [G] oh, [C] oh

REPEAT CHORUS:

CHORUS 2:
[E] Joining the [A] world
of [D] missing [A] persons
And she [E] was [A] [D] [A]
[E] Missing [A] enough
to [D] feel [A] alright
And she [E] was [A] [D] [A]

OUTRO:
And she [E] was [A] [D] [A]
And she [E] was [A] [D] [A]
And she [E] was [A] [D] [A]
And she [E open] was
