[Verse 1]
Em
Watching the stars falling down
from the sky in the night
  G            D          Em
Crashing from out of the heavens
         D          Em
they're burning so bright
Em
Descend through the atmosphere,
                    G
glowing with fiery light
Em          F#m      G
Dragging a tail of white sparkles,
    D           C
and oh, what a sight

[Pre-Chorus]
C                             Am
Oh, where did I go, how could I know
            G  D   C   D
Defies all reason now

[Chorus]
G  D             Em
I fell from the sky
    Bm           C
So don't ask me why
     C  D   Em  D
I'm feeling so down
  G        D              Em
Attacked, shot down and wrecked
        Bm          C
There's no turning back
    C    D  Em  D   Em
To find my way home

[Verse 2]
F#                         D
Hey little alien, little grey
                                F#
Where's the place your people stay
                          D
Have you found a place beyond
                     F#
Where eternity moves on
                            G
Let me detach you, help me find
                               F#
What goes on in your captor's mind
                D
For eternity awaits
                       F#
On the brink of our escape

Em

[Verse 3]
       Em
We're twisting, we're turning
       Em
We're running, we're burning
Em
Out on the run through the maze
Em
On through the madness
No time for sadness
    Em
And no one can show us the way
D              Em
Through Hangar 18

[Verse 4]
    Em
The tension now grows
We're getting so close
Em
Enter the ship, start the engine
              D
and open the gates
               Em
Through Hangar 18

[Bridge]
C               Em        D
Onwards to the sky, the stars are
                  G
bright, they'll shine forever
C             Em          B
On and on we fly, so far away

[Verse 5]
F#m     Em  F#m
Hey little alien
F#m       Em   F#m
What have they done to you
F#m          Em     F#m
Are there survivors here
F#m          Em      F#m E F#m
Or have they all just disappeared

[Chorus]
A  E             F#m
I fell from the sky
    C#m          D
So don't ask me why
      D E  F#m  E
I'm feeling so down
  A        E              F#m
Attacked, shot down and wrecked

[Verse 6]
A    E         D           F#m
The dark, the fear of the night
         D            E           F#m
And the pain settles down deep within
A       E          D            F#m
Coming home to a place still unknown
         D         F#m        E
And the hope as I dream is undying

          F#m                D
When the sky falls, and the world
                          F#m
you know comes crashing down
          D       F#m
When the sky falls,
                   D
and everything is changing
F#m                           D
Changes came across the sky, welcome
to the other side
F#m                 C       F#m
And everything is changing
          D        F#m
When the sky falls
          D        F#m
When the sky falls
