When I was young I told my mum gonna walk on the moon someday
E F#m E G#m F#m E B A
Armstrong and Aldrin spoke to me through Houston and Cape Kennedy
C#m A E A E (arp.)
and I watched the Eagle landing on a night when the moon was full
A G#m A E B
and as it tugged at the tides I knew that deep inside I too could feel
A $
its pull
E F#m E G#m F#m E x2
E F#m E G#m F#m E B A
I lie in my bed and dreamed I walked on the sea of tranquillity
E F#m E G#m F#m E B
I knew that someday soon we'd all sail to the moon on the high tide of
A
technology
C#m A E A E (arp.)
but the dreams had all been taken and the window seats taken too
A G#m A E B
and two thousand & one has almost come and gone what am I supposed to do?
[chorus]:
A E A E A
now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get
E
to the moon
A E A E B
now that the space race is over and I can't help but feel that we've all
A $
grown up too soon
E F#m E G#m F#m E x2
C#m A E A E
now my dreams have all been shattered and my wings are tattered too
A G#m A E B
and I can still fly but not half as high as once I wanted to
A E A E A
now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get
E
to the moon
A E A E B
now that the space race is over and I can't help but think that we've all
A $
grown up too soon
E F#m E G#m F#m E x2
E F#m E G#m F#m E B A
my son and I stand beneath the great night sky and we gaze up in wonder
E F#m E G#m F#m E B A
I tell him the tale of apollo and he says yeah but why did they ever go?
C#m A E A
It may look like some empty gesture to go all that was just to come
E (arp.)
back
A G#m A E B
but don't offer me a place out in cyber space coz where in the hell's
that at?
A E A E A
now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get
E
out of my room
A E A E B
now that the space race is over and I can't help but think that we're all
A
just going nowhere
