Gm   Fb   B    Bm

[Verse 1]
Gm   Fb
In another life
   B                 Bm
In another place and time
Gm        Fb               B
I saw the light follow the hills in its disguise
Gm     Fb
Then a blinding flash
         B             Bm
What did Betty have to say?
Gm           Fb                       B
Barney, I've tried to remember but my mind has slipped away

Gm   Fb   B    Bm
Gm   Fb   B    Bm

[Verse 2]
Gm    Fb                  B           Gb
I'm a renegade who's been living in a dream
Gm           Fb                   B
That set the cosmos alight like a flame on gasoline
Gm      Fb                   B              Gb
When we took them both I was anxious at the start
Gm           Fb                     B
I could feel remorse if not for the poison in my heart

Gm   Fb   B    Bm
Gm   Fb   B    Bm

[Verse 3]
Gm      Fb                  B             Gb
When we both were young and longing to be free
Gm                    Fb                 B         Gb
Traveling through the White Mountains to Zeta Reticuli
Gm      Fb                   B          Gb
Ridiculed and scorned on the television news
Gm                 Fb               B               Gb
Like the rubbles in bedrock visited by the Great Gazoo


[Verse 4]
      G      B          C          B
Don't make a sound just close your eyes
  G     B         C        B
A voice replied inside his mind
   G      B        C          B
It wanted me but I ran for my life
       Bm
I just want
       B          C
I just want to Go home

Gm   Fb   B    Bm
