[Verse 1]
EmDsus2/F#GAm
The baby won't stop screaming, there are holes in the ceiling.
EmDsus2/F#GAmEm
We're all running on empty, all I can think about is leaving.
Dsus2/F#GAmEm
The lift's beyond repair, screw faces, head down, take the stairs
Dsus2/F#G
And soon I'm gonna be floating away.
AmC/G
Do you remember you used to say...
[Chorus 1]
C/GG
What'll it be like when we get older?
DEmDsus2/F#C/G
We can be far away from here, we're going to the moon my dear.
C/GGDEmDsus2/F#
I see the spaceman over my shoulder, wave to earth and disappear.
GAm
Floating away.
EmDsus2/F#GAm
Floating away.
[Verse 2]
EmDsus2/F#GAm
I got a job in a kitchen, till I got sick of their bitching.
EmDsus2/F#GAmEm
Future seemed like fiction. I'm on an intergalactic mission
Dsus2/F#GAmEm
but back on earth the time ticked on. I looked around and wondered where had my spaceman gone?
Dsus2/F#GAm
Like all those promises of childhood, if I could find a way to keep them like I should, you know I would,
C/G
Instead of floating away every time I could.
[Chorus 2]
C/GG
What'll it be like when we get older?
DEmDsus2/F#C/G
We can be far away from here, we're going to the moon my dear.
C/GGDEm
I see the spaceman over my shoulder, wave to earth and disappear.
Dsus2/F#C/G
I can't breathe at this atmosphere.
GB
Is it just me or did it get colder? We can be far away from...

[Verse 3]
EmDsus2/F#GAm
The baby stopped it's screaming, am I awake or dreaming?
EmDsus2/F#GAm
The time is different up here and even though you're gone I feel you near.
EmDsus2/F#GAmEm
And so for what it's worth, there's nothing left for me down on earth.
Dsus2/F#GAmC/G
I didn't even notice you went away, but I remember you used to say...

We can be far away from here, we're going to the moon my dear.
C/GGDC/G
I see the spaceman over my shoulder, wave to earth and disappear,
C/GGDEm
If I could have one more chance to just hold her, maybe I could face this fear,
Dsus2/F#C/G
I can't breathe at this atmosphere.
C/GG
And is it just me or did it get colder?
DBEmDsus2/F#
Lying alone it's all so clear, and from up here, I love how tiny down there everything appears.
GAmEmDsus2/F#
Floating away.
GAmEmDsus2/F#
Floating away.
GAmEmDsus2/F#
Floating away.
GAmEm
Floating away...
