Em D Am C G
[Verse 1]
Em D Am
On solid fuel and wires,
C D Em
Turn the key and light the fire,
D Am C G Em
We're leaving Earth today.
D Am
This rocket's burning bright,
C G Em
We'll soon be out of sight,
D Am
And orbiting in Space.
[Pre-Chorus]
D Am
Pushed back in my seat,
G
Look out my window,
D Cadd9
There goes home.
D Am
That ball of shiny blue,
G D Cadd9
Houses everybody anybody ever knew.
[Chorus]
G D
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Am G C
Out where stars are glistening,
D Em D Cadd9
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C) G D
If you could see our nation,
Am G C D
From the International Space Station,
Em D C
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
[Verse 2]
Em D Am
Eighteen thousand miles an hour,
C D Em
Fueled by science and solar power,
D Am C G Em
The ocean's racing past.
D Am
At half a thousand tons,
C D Em
Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun,
D Am
A bullet can't go half as fast.
[Pre-Chorus]
D Am
Floating from my seat,
G
Look out my window,
D Cadd9
There goes home (There goes home).
D Am
That brilliant ball of blue,
G D Cadd9
Is where I'm from and also where I'm going to.
[Chorus]
G D
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Am G C
Out where stars are glistening,
D Em D Cadd9
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C) G D
If you could see our nation,
Am G C D
From the International Space Station,
Em D C
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
[Bridge]
A E D
All black and white just fades to gray,
A E D
Where the Sun rises sixteen times a day (Day),
A E D
You can't make out borders from up here,
A E D
Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere).
[Break]
Cadd9
[Pre-Chorus]
D Am
Pushed back in my seat,
G
Look out my window,
D Cadd9
Here comes home (Home).
D Am
What once was fueled by fear,
G D Cadd9
Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here.
[Chorus]
G D
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Am G C
Out where stars are glistening,
D Em D Cadd9
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C) G D
If you could see our nation,
Am G C D
From the International Space Station,
Em D C
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
[Outro]
G D Cadd9
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
G D Cadd9
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
G D Cadd9
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
G D Cmaj7
You'd know why I want to get back soon.
