Galaxies
When you sing, when you sing
The stars fill up my eyes
Galaxies pour down my cheeks
Galaxies...they flood the street
Galaxies
When we dance, when we dance
Eels and sea grass float on by
I'm 10, 000 leagues beneath the sea
10, 000 leagues...beneath the green
10, 000 leagues
When we kiss, when we kiss
Bears and boulders vibrate through the air
Gravity is dead you see
No gravity...all I need is beating red
No gravity...
That's how it goes for the whole song.

As the song progresses the main theme incorporates more of the higher strings
during the muted bit in each bar:
A5 Am C5 Cm G5 Gm F5 Fm
e|--------5-5-x----|--------8--8--x----|--------3-3-x----|--------1-1-x------|
B|--------5-5-x----|--------8--8--x----|--------3-3-x----|--------1-1-x------|

She uses a different C chord live:
A5 Am C5 C G5 Gm F5 Fm
e|--------5-5-x----|---------3-3--x----|--------3-3-x----|--------1-1-x------|
B|--------5-5-x----|---------5-5--x----|--------3-3-x----|--------1-1-x------|

Alternatively if you think the Am-C-G-F version sounds better, but you're
having trouble controlling distortion using open chords, you can play them
all as bar chords by substituting the Em for Emaj bar shape for the last
three chords, like this:
A5 Am C5 C G5 G F5 F
e|--------5-5-x----|--------8--8--x----|--------3-3-x----|--------1-1-x------|
B|--------5-5-x----|--------8--8--x----|--------3-3-x----|--------1-1-x------|
G|o-------5-5-x----|--------9--9--x----|--------4-4-x----|--------2-2-x-----o|
D|o---7---7-7-x----|----10--10-10-x----|----5---5-5-x----|----3---3-3-x-----o|
A|----7---7-7-x----|----10--10-10-x----|----5---5-5-x----|----3---3-3-x------|
E|----5---5-5-x----|----8---8--8--x----|----3---3-3-x----|----1---1-1-x------|

Lyrics:
When you sing, when you sing
The stars fill up my eyes
Galaxies pour down my cheeks
Galaxies...they flood the street
Galaxies
When we dance, when we dance
Eels and sea grass float on by
I'm 10, 000 leagues beneath the sea
10, 000 leagues...beneath the green
10, 000 leagues
When we kiss, when we kiss
Bears and boulders vibrate through the air
Gravity is dead you see
No gravity...all I need is beating red
No gravity...
