i like the tone of your trumpet
    G

let's raise a glass of milk to the end of another day

Verse 2:
      G                         D
your voice is all detached on a radio-wave breeze 
    Em                        C
we have another caller with a bachelor degree
         G                    D
talkin' alien invasion as the only chance for unity
      Em                                        C                      
well sorry to interrupt you caller but that's a physical impossibility

Chorus:
G   D        Em           C
      that's a physical impossibility
G   D        Em           A            D    A   D (listen for timing)
      that's a physical impossibility

       A          D           A                     D
in a spartan antarctican can walk for many days
          A            D    A                  D
meet with emperor penguin devotion to the egg

and their women are swimming from half an ocean away

just give me your opinion before you turn to leave
      G                             D
your crust is just incredible, the radio was edible
             Em                                C
when you said don't wipe your asses with your sleeves

your're a physical impossibility
