Spacerace Is Over

E     F#m  E       G#m F#m E  
When I was young I told my mum
   B                  A
    gonna walk on the moon someday


E        F#m  E      G#m  F#m 
Armstrong and Aldrin spoke to 
E     B                      
me     through Houston and Cape 
    A
Kennedy


       C#m         A     E          
  A                        E (arp.)
and I watched the Eagle landing  on 
a night when the moon was full


           A            G#m    
and as it tugged at the tides  I 
            A     E       B
knew that deep inside I too could 
feel

    A        $
its pull


E    F#m E   G#m F#m E     x2


   E   F#m  E          G#m F#m 
I lie in my bed and dreamed I 
E       B             
walked     on the sea of 
       A
tranquillity

  E               F#m  E         
I knew that someday soon we'd all
     G#m F#m E      B
   sail to the moon  on the high 
tide of
                                    
                               A
                          technology

         C#m       A         E      
      A                   E (arp.)
but the dreams had all been taken 
and the window seats taken too

         A        G#m           
and two thousand & one has almost 
   A       E           B
come and gone what am I supposed to 
do?

[chorus]:
               A            E     
now that the space race is over 
   A            E             A
its been and its gone and I'll never
 get
        E
to the moon
               A             E    
now that the space race is over 
     A              E         
and I can't help but feel  that 
      B
we've all
              A     $
grown up too soon


E F#m  E   G#m  F#m  E     x2


        C#m        A      
now my dreams have all been 
    E               A             
shattered and my wings are 
    E
tattered too

       A        G#m           A  
and I can still fly but not half 
   E        B
as high as once I wanted to


               A            E     
now that the space race is over 
   A            E             A
its been and its gone and I'll never
 get
        E
to the moon
               A             E    
now that the space race is over 
     A              E         
and I can't help but think that 
      B
we've all
              A        $
grown up too soon


E F#m  E   G#m  F#m  E     x2


   E          F#m     E         
my son and I stand beneath the 
G#m  F#m   E   B                
great night sky  and we gaze up in 
   A
wonder

E          F#m  E     G#m F#m 
I tell him the tale of apollo 
E            B                   
 and he says yeah but why did 
    A
they ever go?

        C#m       A          E   
It may look like some empty 
         A
gesture to go all that was just to 
come
    E (arp.)
back

          A          G#m          
but don't offer me a place out in 
A       E         B
cyber space  coz where in the hell's
                                    
                           that at?

               A            E     
now that the space race is over 
   A            E             A
its been and its gone and I'll never
 get
           E
out of my room
               A             E    
now that the space race is over 
     A              E         
and I can't help but think that 
      B
we're all
              A
just going nowhere
