E C#m


[Verse]
E
  Layin' in the moonlight
                  C#m
With an elevated mind, breathing fine
                                                                       F#m
But since the sunset it's been feeling harder than before to keep the time

So I time your breaths with mine
            B
But in your eyes

You've got the look telling me that in the morning
                E
You're gonna change your mind

So tonight
            C#m
What if we drive?
                                                              F#m7
Blast off like a rocket to the stars that are shining in your eyes
F#m                                                           B
So even if we crash and we don't know if we'll make it out alive
                                                 E
We can look down together at the world one last time

[Chorus]

Remember when we packed my car and drove to outer space?

So used to staring at the moon and then we touched its face
C#m
No gravity to pull you toward me so you ran away
                                           F#m
Flew into orbit 'til you hit another galaxy

Remember when we packed my car and drove to outer space?

Your mind was shifting like a gear but still our fingers laced
B
So if you're movin' on then tell me quickly to my face
     B7                                                        E
But baby since we're bound to crash eventually let's slow the pace

[Verse]
And while we're pacing, my heart is racing
         C#m
And I'm tasting your toothpaste and
                                                              F#m
Thinking of the late nights that we wasted together in your spaceship

Guess I was crazy for thinking that we'd make it
         B
Cuz the stars burned up like our flame did
                                                                      E
Should've known that the end was coming soon but baby I just couldn't   face it

Yeah you loved me real good but I fucked things up
           C#m
Could've showed you love instead of sayin' it once
                                                        F#m
Thinking that was enough to stop this ship from blowing up

You've got my heart in your hands and I'm begging you baby
   B
To promise me that before you break it

You'll numb me up, make sure I'm sedated

[Outro]
E
Remember when we packed my car and drove to outer space?

So used to staring at the moon and then we touched its face
C#m
No gravity to pull you toward me so you ran away

Flew into orbit 'til you hit another galaxy
F#m
I know I'll see you when we fall back to the earth one day

I'll try to run from you but keep on floating back your way
B
So if you're moving on and turning to a solar ray
                                                            E
Then baby take me with you cuz without you my whole sky is gray
