[Intro]
Em D Am C G
[Verse 1]
Em D Am
On solid fuel and wires,
C G Em
Turn the key and light the fire,
D Am C G
We're leaving Earth today.
[Verse 2]
Em D Am
This rocket's burning bright,
C G Em
We'll soon be out of sight,
D Am C G
And orbiting in Space.
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em
Pushed back in my seat,
G
Look out my window,
D Cadd9
There goes home.
D Em
That ball of shiny blue,
G D Cadd9 D
Houses everybody anybody ever knew.
[Chorus]
D (Let ring) G D
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Am C Am
Out where stars are glistening,
D Em D Am C
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C) D G D
If you could see our nation,
Am C Am D
From the International Space Station,
Em D Am
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
[Verse 3]
Em D Am
Eighteen thousand miles an hour,
C G Em
Fueled by science and solar power,
D Am C G
The ocean's racing past.
[Verse 4]
Em D Am
At half a thousand tons,
C G Em
Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun,
D Am C G
A bullet can't go half as fast.
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em
Floating from my seat,
G
Look out my window,
D Cadd9
There goes home (There goes home).
D Em
That brilliant ball of blue,
G D Cadd9 D
Is where I'm from and also where I'm going to.
[Chorus]
D (Let ring) G D
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Am C Am
Out where stars are glistening,
D Em D Am C
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C) D G D
If you could see our nation,
Am C Am D
From the International Space Station,
Em D Am
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
[Bridge]
Em D C
All black and white just fades to gray,
Em D C
Where the Sun rises sixteen times a day (Day),
Em D C
You can't make out borders from up here,
Em D C
Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere).
[Break]
(Strum each chord once)
Cadd9 D Cadd9
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em
Pushed back in my seat,
G
Look out my window,
D Cadd9
Here comes home (Home).
D Em
What once was fueled by fear,
D D Cadd9 D
Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here.
[Chorus]
D (Let ring) G D
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Am C Am
Out where stars are glistening,
D Em D Am C
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C) D G D
If you could see our nation,
Am C Am D
From the International Space Station,
Em D Am
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
[Outro]
Em D Am
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
Em D Am
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
Em D Am
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
Em (Strum once) D (Strum once) Am (Strum once)
You'd know why I want to get back soon.
