[Fragment 2]
F                    Dm
Burning in the stratosphere
Bb                             C
Looks like there’s no place to run
F                    Dm
I know that I have a heart
         Bb             C
It burns like a million suns!

F bass

(Spoken)

F
Commander Walter, come in
                      Bbm
We’ve got the Cosmo’s distress signal
                           Eb
You were hit by an unknown force
                             C
An energy with Earth as it’s source

What’s your status?

[Dwight]
(Sung)

F
This is flight Engineer Dwight
Bbm
Ground Control, do you read?
Eb
The explosion, it hit Walter!
                     Fm
Hit him right in the chest.

F
I’m losing air, I’m spinning out
Bbm
High above the Earth
Eb                               Fm
I don’t think I can hold on much longer!

F bass

F
(Dwight, Dwight! Keep the scaffolding in your sight. Hold on there!)

Bb C


[Verse 1]
F                 Dm
The story says he saved Dwight
Bb                    C
Filled his lungs with air
Continues after the ad
       F                        Dm
And he returned him through the atmosphere
          Bb                    C
without a bruise, or scrape, or tear

[Verse 2]
F               Dm
Commander Cosmo Saves The Day
  Bb       C
A hero overnight
   F             Dm
He rocketed into outer space
        Bb             C
just by thinking about flight

[Verse 3]
      F                         Dm
There was no explanation how he did what he did
   Bb                                C
He unearthed special powers from his deep cosmic id
         F                              Dm
He could eat thirty moons and still eat thirty-five more
        Bb                       C
And his super space muscles were hard to ignore

C

[Chorus]
F               Dm
Commander Cosmo save us!
      Bb           C
It’ll never be the same
    F              Dm
The star streak of justice flies
     Bb                   C
Just call the commander’s name

F               Dm
Commander Cosmo save us!
Bb               C
Save us all from Mars
    F               Dm
The martians melted Parliament
    Bb             C
and ate all of our cars

F                     Dm
Black hole strong and lightspeed quick
Bb          C
Singularity Concussive Kicks
F                 Dm
Comet Crystalline Ether Form
    Bb                    C
And eyes that burn like a cosmic storm

C

[Verse 4]
F              Dm               Bb                C
(Mister Cosmo, you're the best. Hello, my name is Sam
F                     Dm                      Bb                     C
I bought your T-shirt and your lunchbox - the one with the sweet hologram)

    F                 Dm            Bb                 C
(If you could sign my baseball bat, gosh that would be swell
    F                        Dm                         Bb                    C
And if you’ve got some extra time, could you send those spider demons back to hell?)

[Chorus]
F               Dm
Commander Cosmo save us!
Bb                  C
Save us from Doctor Blight
          F                Dm
With your helmet made from UV rays
         Bb                C
and that space cape of starlight

       F
Flying saucers, sky sharks,
    Dm              Bb            C
the Starblood Beast all could not compare
         F                         Dm
Even the space pterodactyls didn’t stand a chance,
          Bb                             C
Commander Cosmo killed them all with his Sun Beam Stare

[Bridge]
F                    Dm
I just can’t bear to wade
Bb                     C
Through the infinite decades
F                       Dm
Seein’ all those pretty smiles
        Bb            C
They’ll burn, they’ll burn

F                      Dm
Burning like a million suns
Bb                        C
I know where I’m going to run
F                          Dm
Straight into the heart so far
                Bb      C
Deep within the darkest star

[Verse 5]
F                Dm
Commander Walter loved her
        Bb                C7
But the ring, it came too late

F                             Dm
Decades flew by but she would cherish him
   Bb               C
No matter his final fate

[Chorus]
F                 Dm
Commander Walter, save him
Bb               C7
Save him in your heart
     F                Dm           Bb        C
Find peace inside the black of the dark Necrostar

N.C.

[Chorus]
F                Dm
Commander Cosmo, save us
      Bb           C7
It’ll never be the same
        F               Dm
There’s nothing left to save us,
        Bb              C
and the vice is what to blame

F                Dm
Commander Cosmo, save us
Bb               C7
Save us from the end
     F                                        Bb   C     F
What will we do when the cosmos quake and the gods above descend?
