Intro: Main Riff (Don't forget that it repeats itself!)
Verse 1:
Main Riff
Babies on beach blankets headed for Mars
1/2 Main Riff C9
Cute boys with crew cuts and day-glo surfboards
Main Riff (clear)
There's a pretty lady in a bikini, her eyes are bright,
(Still on Main Riff) C9
But her teeth look like smashed out window panes
G (mend)
Trying to fix her dreams
Main Riff (seaweed)
With sushi and facials and carrot juice
Chorus:
C9 G
There's a white wall that we can't see over now
C9
But that's okay we're still learning
G F6 D
Mistakes, they are allowed if you're a satellite, o-o-oh...
Verse 2: Same as 1st verse
Yoga classes so you can look good in your singles bar
California's sure lovely, it's the home of the stars
And everybody is a nice body
But souls are like shadows, hollow inside, choked and hiding behind
Volleyballs and valium and powerbars
Repeat Chorus: Same as first time
There's a white wall that we can't see over now
But that's okay we're still learning
Mistakes, they are allowed, if you're a satellite, oh...
Bridge:
Dm add4 Gadd9
We understand a lot of things
Dm add4 Gadd9
About modern technology but not about dreams
Dm add4 Gadd9 (single strum)
Our hearts are on the shelves, we can't fix ourselves,
1/2 Main Riff
But we can fix a satellite
Main Riff
Cause in hollywood the heros are strung out on grace
C9
And half-skinned gypsies are crying leave this place
Chorus: Same as usual for 1st part
There's a white wall that we can't see over now
But that's okay we're still learning
Mistakes, they are allowed, if you're a satellite, o-o-oh...
F6 D
We can fix a satellite, o-o-oh...
End:
1/2 Main Riff D
Babies on beach blankets headed for Mars
(You can insert this part before the end line if you want for fun,
but it's just on GBAIW)
C9 G C9 D
The pope can't fix my broken heart
C9 G C9 D
Rock and roll can't fix my broken heart
C9 G C9 D
Valium can't fix my broken heart
C9 G C9 D
Miss Cleo can't fix my broken heart
C9 G C9 D
But will you fix my broken heart
C9 G C9 D
Oh, will you fix my broken heart?
(D)
Cause I'm gonna give you
C9 G C9
Satellite, satellite, satellite,
D
satellite, satellite, satellite,
C9 G C9 D

C9 G C9 D
Fix my broken heart

Fix my broken heart
