[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][Bm][G]
[A][D][G][D][A][Bm]
[G][A]
[D]Why do I lie awake

[Verse 1]
at night
[G]Think back as for as [D]I can
To [A]the sound of my father's
[Bm]life outdoors
At the thought [A]of Sputnik in free flight
Be[D]fore I could fashion my poverty

[Verse 2]
Be[G]fore I distrusted [D]the night
[A]Must've known something
[Bm]I must've known something
I live [G]for those times to[A]night
[D]Why why why

[Verse 3]
Why [A]mama why
Why [D]can't I [G]sleep in peace tonight
[A]Un derneath the [Bm]satellite sky

[Verse 4]
[Bm]It can't[D] be easy for the children
I'm hol[G]low before [D]my time
It [A]looks like a [Bm]desert here to me
Where's the [G]promise of
youth for [A]my child

[Verse 5]
[D]Where are the faraway
kingdoms of dreams
We've [G]been to the moon,
there's [D]trouble at home
[A]Vanished in the mist [Bm]with St Nicholas and
The [G]ghettos and [A]war zones

[Verse 6]
[D]Why why why
Oh Why [A]mama why
[D]Why can't I [G]sleep in peace tonight
[A]Un derneath the satel[Bm]lite sky
[D]Oh why why why

[Verse 7]
Oh why [A]mama why
[D]Why can't I [G]sleep in peace tonight
[A]Un derneath the satel[Bm]lite sky
[D]

[Verse 8]
[G]I w[A]ant[G] to[Bm] stan[G]d[A][D]
out in the middle of the street
[G]And listen [D]to the stars
[A]I want to hear their sweet [Bm]voices
I want [G]to feel the big bang [A]rattle my bones

[Verse 9]
[D]Laugh with the children
I want the [G]spark to ig[D]nite
Before [A]we find out just [F#m]what it means
To be [G]born into [A]these times

[Verse 10]
[D]Why why why
Oh why [A]mama why
[D]Why can't I sleep in [G]peace tonight
[A]Un derneath the satel[Bm]lite sky
Why [D]why why

[Verse 11]
Oh why [A]mama why
[D]Why can't I sleep in [G]peace tonight
Un[A]derneath the satel[Bm]lite sky
