Bb
She was only seventeen
Dm
Had the saddest pair of eyes that you ever seen
F
Wore them lips in the cold, it was matching green
But she can't be herself when she's somebody else
Bb
In the morning, she would take her mother's wedding ring
Dm
But school got pretty tough when they see it gleam
F
So she hid herself under the mezzanine
Re-enacting scenes, yeah
[Pre-Chorus] *strum once*
Bb
She dreamed she'd Go to California
Dm
There everyone would adore her
F
And all her mates will call her
'Til four in the morning
[Chorus]
Bb
Is there any life on Mars?
Dm
Is there any life on Mars?
F
Is there any life on Mars?
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
N.C. Bb
Every morning she would wake up with another plan
Dm
Yeah, her Mum and Dad, they couldn't understand
F
Why she couldn't turn it off, become a better man
All this therapy eats away gently
N.C. Bb
at the side of her mind that she never had
Dm
Yeah, this story told too many times, it makes me sad
F
I bet the author made a fortune out the autograph
Give her the money back 'cause
[Pre-Chorus] *strum once*
Bb
She dreamed she'd Go to California
Dm
There everyone would adore her
F
And all her mates will call her
'Til four in the morning
[Chorus]
Bb
Is there any life on Mars?
Dm
Is there any life on Mars?
F
Is there any life on Mars?
Yeah, yeah
Bb
Is there any life on Mars?
Dm
Is there any life on Mars?

Is there any life on Mars?
Yeah, yeah

N.C. Bb
Do you feel like you're irrelevant?
Dm
Do you feel like you're irrelevant?
F
Do you feel like you're just scared as fuck?
Bb
Do you feel like you're irrelevant?
Dm
Do you feel like you're irrelevant?
