[Verse]
E5 B5 A5 A5/F# E5
On the 28th of January 1986 Christa McAuliffe
B5
Gazed in horror as the O-rings failed,
A5 A5/F#
And she died, and she died, and she died.
E5 B5 A5 A5/F#
For the next agonizing two minutes and forty-five long seconds
E5 B5
She called out the truth on a broken radio:
A5 A5/F#
"I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive"
[Chorus]
B5 B5/A E
It came as some surprise to realize that
A
As she lost everything
B5 B5/A E
The world was revealed in a transmission so real
A
That she understood everything:
You're still alive.
(Intro Riff)
You're still alive.
(Intro Riff)
[Verse]
E5 B5 A5
Four thousand nautical miles as the crow flies away
A5/F# E5 B5
A home-made ham radio in the loft of a Hampshire family home
A5 A5/F#
Came alive, came alive, came alive.
E5 B5 A5
And so the four year old amateur operator thus became
A5/F# E5 B5
The only person to hear Christa's last desperate communique:
A5 A5/F#
"We're alive, we're alive, we're alive"
[Chorus]
B5 B5/A E
It came as some surprise to realize
A
That he didn't catch anything
The world was revealed in a transmission so real
A
That he understood everything:
You're still alive.
[Break]
And Christa said:

E Am
The darkness up above
D7/A# E C#m
Led me on like unrequited love,
C5
While all the things I need
B B/A
Were down here in the deep blue sea
D E6/3 B5/A E C#m7
At four years old I heard the truth on my radio,
C7 Bsus4 B5/A
So now I keep a moment's silence for my Silent Key.
My silent key x 3
