EG#mC#mB
[Verse 1]
EG#mC#mB
so they left me sitting here, I saw them talking with themselves
EC#mF#A
about the way, about the way, I would hopefully be found
EG#mC#mB
then they crouched down nice and low and they whispered in my ear
EC#mF#AF#A
about the land about the land, that would have me in the end, my mother whispered to me again
[Pre-Chorus]
EG#mC#mG#mAB
goodbye my love, this is where I disappear, remember to drink and eat
EBC#mF#BE
make your transmissions religiously and a ship will come for you I swear just keep your blanket on the moon
[Verse 2]
EG#mC#mB
she said the earth is right there, a mere light second away
EC#mF#A
and the humans all look up in the most peculiar way
EG#mC#mB
with that she brushed the moondust off and turned to hide her tears
EC#mF#A
are you coming back? I asked, she said it could be years
F#AF#AF#A
that I should get some rest, then she tucked me in for the last time as her heart broke in her chest
[Pre-Chorus]
EG#mC#mG#mAB
bye my love, this is where I disappear, remember to drink and eat
EBC#mF#BEE
make your transmissions religiously and a ship will come for you I swear just keep your blanket on the moon,
BE
a better life awaits you
[Chorus]
EC#mG#mAB
and I’ll be right there, when you’re shacked up against the moon,
EC#mG#mABE
and I’ll be right there, I’ll be your blanket on the moon
[Verse 3]
EG#mC#mB
the day the earthship came, I was thrilled to see the light
EC#mF#A
and I waved with all my heart to show the humans I was alright
EG#mC#mB
but as the ship got closer it wasn't the kind that lands
EC#mF#A
more the kind that comes from an air missile defense
F#AF#A
and just as I felt the first shock from the supersonic front
[Pre-Chorus]
C#mA
I was catapulted into space by the exothermic guns
B
and I hope I find someone soon, someone who won’t destroy their moon,
B7E
when all my wounds are cauterized, no xenophobic enterprise
[Chorus]
EC#mG#mAB
and I’ll be right there, when you’re shacked up against the moon,
EC#mC#
and I’ll be right there
[Bridge]
F#mBEG#mA
and now I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out for someone to help me down
F#mBC#m
I’m reaching out again, reaching out again for someone to help me out
F#mBEG#mA
I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out for someone to help me down
F#mB
I’m reaching out again, reaching out again
[Solo]
EG#mC#mBEC#mF#AEG#mC#mBEC#mF#AF#A
[Pre-Chorus]
B
and I hope I find someone soon, someone who won’t destroy their moon,
B7E
when all my wounds are cauterized, no xenophobic enterprise
[Chorus]
EC#mG#mAB
and I’ll be right there, when you’re shacked up against the moon
EC#mC#
I’ll be right there
EC#mG#mAB
and I’ll be right there, only once removed,
EC#mC#
and I’ll be right there
[Verse 4]
EG#mC#mB
last thing I remember, I grabbed onto a microsphere
EC#mF#A
and I must’ve been talking in my sleep to all those who could hear
EG#mC#mB
because I woke up in mid-conversation with these little critters in formal dress
EC#mF#A
and they motioned for me to come as if I’d already said yes
F#AF#A
they said I was lucky to be alive they did not think anything survived
[Outro]
EG#mC#mG#mAB
goodbye my love, this is where I disappear, remember to drink and eat
EBC#mF#B
make your transmissions religiously and a ship will come for you I swear just keep your blanket on the moon,
E
a better life awaits you soon
