Going Spaceward


Tom: G

G                                             C               D
We’re all just trying to live, but we’re all in each other‘s way
G                        C            D
How much CO2 will I put in the air today?
Em                                     C           D
I wrote this on an instrument that I barely even play


[Hook]
          C
Someone help us
          D
Someone help us
          G
Someone help us


[Verse 2]
G                                        C                 D
Everything that tastes good ruins your teeth or makes you fat
G                                             C                 D
They hate you if you're different—if you're this or if you're that
Em                             C                   D
Somehow there are people who believe the Earth is flat


[Hook]

Someone help us
          D
Someone help us
          G
Someone help us

Alle-alleluia


[Verse 3]
G                                 C             D
Half the population is scared to walk alone at night
      G                              C                   D
The other half is taught to always think they're always right
Em                                    C                D
Even though we're similar, we still bicker, yell, and fight


[Hook]
          C
Someone help us
          D
Someone help us
          G
Someone help us


[Verse 4]
G                                     C              D
Beauty is a construct, I still don't like the way I look
G                                     C             D
Twenty men hoard billions, millions have no food to cook
Em                                          C                 D
I live on land that someone's great great great grandfather took


[Hook]
          C
Someone help us
          D
Someone help us
          G
Someone help us


[Chorus]
G     D        Em
Alle-alle-alleluia
Bm         Am
Alle-alle-alleluia
Am
Alle-alleluia


[Verse 5]
G                                          C               D
We all have our problems, there’s nothing new beneath the sun
G                                         C               D
They tell me life's a gift, but I'm not having that much fun
Em                                            C               D
You'll hear this song and nod your head and nothing will be done


[Hook]
          C
Someone help us
          D
Someone help us
          G
Someone help us


[Chorus]
