[Verse 1]
G Em Bm
The sergeant says you got to turn down the lights
Bm Em C
It's the things you keep concealed that make you safe in the night
Am D
Not the stars
G Em Bm
The sergeant says that if there's room at the top
Bm Em C
He'll be sure to let you through to give the things that you've got
Am D
If you fit
[Chorus 1]
G C
We've been living on air, oh yeah
G C D
We've been living on air, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
G Em Bm
The sergeant says that if you're nearing the phone
Bm Em C
Will you kindly check transmission as the metres have gone
Am D
Out of phase
G Em Bm
And I suggest that if you're thinking of her
Bm Em C
Then the best thing you can do is to forget she exists
Am D
And get on
[Chorus 2]
G C
You've been living on air, oh yeah
G C
You've been living on air
[Verse 3]
Am Em
And she lives in her block of flats
Am Em
She's always on her own
Am Em
I try to get in touch with her
Am Em
But she's not on the phone
Am Em
And every path in you you lead
Am Em
Is never where you are
Am Em
The stars that blow into the night
Am Em
Are never very far
Am Em D Em
And so I play the game of the gone insane
Am D Em
And the never-never-never-can-tells
Am Em D Em
And I try my best to get on through the test
Am D Em
Of the never-never-never-can-tells
[Chorus 3]
G C
I'm becoming aware, oh yeah
G C D
I'm becoming aware, oh yeah
[Verse 4]
G Em Bm
So this may well be the last song I write
Bm Em C
Cause I can't touch the truth when the words don't seem right
Am D
Well who cares
G Em Bm
I leave you now with a silent salute
Bm Em C
To the man dressed in armor who has stolen your youth
Am D
And your charm
[Chorus 4]
G C
We've been living on air, oh yeah
G C
We've been living on air
[Verse 5]
Am Em
And one day I will find a way
Am Em
To save her from a plight
Am Em
It may well take a million years
Am Em
But she will see the light
Am Em D Em
Because I've had enough of the hootchie-coo
Am D Em
And the never-never-never-can-tells
Am Em D Em
Yeah I'm going back to the human zoo
Am D Em
To see if animals are relatives of mine
Am D Em
To see if animals are relatives of mine
Am D Am D Em D Em
To see if animals are relatives, if animals are relatives, if animals are relatives of mine
