Tom: C#m

C#m   B   C#m   A   B
C#m   B   G#m   A

[Verse 1]
      B          C#m
She's taking her time making up the reasons
G#m                A
To justify all the hurt inside
          C#m
Guess she knows from the smile
        B
and the look in their eyes
     G#m                          A
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
                 C#m
They're saying, "Mamma never loved her much"
      B
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch
G#m                            A
That's why she shies away from human affection"
C#m
But somewhere in a private place
    B
She packs her bags for outer space
G#m                           A
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come

And she'll say to him
            C#m
She's saying

[Chorus]
                   A                     B
I would fly to the moon & back if you'll be...
          G#m        C#m
If you'll be my baby
                        A              B
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
             G#m        C#m   G#m
So would you be my baby?

[Verse 2]
A           B        C#m                B
She can't remember a time when she felt needed
G#m                          A
If love was red then she was colour blind
    C#m                                B
All her friends they've been tried for treason
    G#m                      A
And crimes that were never defined
            C#m                           B
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place,

And reaching out for human faith is
G#m                      A
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for"
C#m
So baby's gonna take a dive and
B
Push the shift to overdrive
G#m                      A
Send a signal that she's hanging

All her hopes on the stars

What a pleasant dream
           C#m
Just saying

[Chorus]
                   A                     B
I would fly to the moon & back if you'll be...
          G#m        C#m
If you'll be my baby
                        A              B
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
             G#m        C#m
So would you be my baby?
     B        G#m   A   B
Hold on, hold on

[Soolo]
C#m   G#m   A
C#m   B     G#m
A     B     C#m

[Verse 3]
C#m
Mamma never loved her much
B
And Daddy never keeps in touch
G#m                            A
That's why she shies away from human affection
C#m
But somewhere in a private place
    B
She packs her bags for outer space
G#m                           A
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come

And she'll say to him
             C#m
Just saying

[Chorus]
                   A                     B
I would fly to the moon & back if you'll be...
          G#m        C#m
If you'll be my baby
                        A              B
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
             G#m        C#m
So would you be my baby?

                   A                     B
I would fly to the moon & back if you'll be...
          G#m        C#m
If you'll be my baby
                        A              B
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
             G#m        C#m
So would you be my baby?

[Outro]
