                  E                 B                 A  
On the 28th of January 1986
                          E                                         B                                                      A  
Christa McAuliffe gazed in horror as the O-rings failed
A  
And she died, and she died, and she died
                     E                                    B                                      A  
For the next agonising two minutes and forty five long seconds
                             E                                              B              A  
She called out the truth on a broken radio
A  
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
        B                                                                      E                                                      A  
It came as some surprise to realise that as she lost everything
          B                                                                                                 E                                                              A  
The world was revealing a transmission so real that she understood everything
                                  E                              B                         A  
You're still alive
                                  E                              B                         A  
You're still alive
             E                                            B                              A  
Four thousand nautical miles as the crow flies away
A                                      E                                                         B                                         A  
A home made ham radio in the loft of a Hampshire family home
A  
Came alive, came alive, came alive
                             E                                              B                    A                                                                              E  
And so the 4 year old amateur operator thus became the only person to hear
                                        B                                         A  
Christa's last desperate communique
A  
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive
        B                                                                      E                                                                 A  
It came as some surprise to realise what he didn't catch everything
          B                                                                                                 E                                                            A  
The world was revealing a transmission so real that he understood everything
                                  E â?¦....
          E                                                      Am  
The darkness up above
B                                                                 C#m  
Led me on like unrequited love
                                     Am  
While all the things I need
             B  
Were down here in the deep blue sea
          E                                                      Am  
The darkness up above
B                                                                 C#m  
Led me on like unrequited love
                                     Am  
While all the things I need
             B  
Were down here in the deep blue sea
          E                                                      Am  
The darkness up above
B                                                                 C#m  
Led me on like unrequited love
                                     Am  
While all the things I need
             B  
Were down here in the deep blue sea
        E  Am  
At 4 years old
     B                                                      C#m  
I heard the truth on my radio
        Am                                                                                                            E  
So now I keep a moments silence for my silent key
                          E                              B                                 A  
My silent key
                          E                              B                                 A  
My silent key
                          E                              B                                 A  
My silent key
