D A G Em For the next agonising two minutes and forty-five long seconds D A G She called out the truth on a broken radio: Em "I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive". -CHORUS- A C# D It came as some surprise to realise that G As she lost everything A C# D The world was revealed in a transmission so real G That she understood everything: You're still alive. (INTRO RIFF) You're still alive. -VERSE 2- D A G Four thousand nautical miles as the crow flies away Em D A G A home-made ham radio in the loft of a Hampshire family home Em Came alive, came alive, came alive. D A G And so the four year old amateur operator thus became Em D A G The only person to hear Christa's last desperate communique: Em "We're alive, we're alive, we're alive". -CHORUS- A C# D It came as some surprise to realise that G As she lost everything A C# D The world was revealed in a transmission so real G That she understood everything: You're still alive. (PA Y FIRST CHORD FROM INTRO RIFF) And Christa said: -OUTRO- -It was a little tricky to decipher exactly how he plays this part but I reckon these chords work pretty well. -Please comment if you can figure it out a little better.

D Gm Em7/D D Bm At four years old I heard the truth on my radio, Bsus4 A A7 So now I keep a moment's silence for my Silent Key.
