Tom: G
[Intro] Em
D A9
On solid fuel and wires
C G Em
Turn the key and light the fires
D A9 ( C G ) Em
We’re leaving earth today
D A9
This rocket’s burning bright
C G Em
We’ll soon be out of sight
D A9 ( C G )
And orbiting in space
D A9
Pushed back in my seat
Em
Look out my window
D C
There goes home
D A9
That ball of shiny blue
Em D C
Houses everybody anybody ever knew
[Refrão]
G D
So sing your song I’m listening
A9 G/B C D
Out where stars are glistening I can
Em D C ( C C5 C )
hear your voices bouncing off the moon
G D
If you could see our nation
A9 G/B C D
From the international space station
Em D C
You’d know why I want to get back soon
Em D A9
Eighteen thousand miles an hour
C G Em
Fuelled by science and solar power
D A9 C G Em
The oceans racing past
D A9
At half a thousand tons
C G Em
Ninety minutes moon to sun
D A9 C G D
A bullet can’t go half this fast
A9
Floating from my seat
Em
Look out my window
D C D
There goes home
A9
That brilliant ball of blue
Em D C
Is where I’m from, and also where I’m going to
[Refrão]
G D
So sing your song I’m listening
A9 G/B C D
Out where stars are glistening I can
Em D C (C C5 C)
hear your voices bouncing off the moon
G D
If you could see our nation
A9 G/B C D
From the international space station
Em D C
You’d know why I want to get back soon
A9 E/A D
All black and white just fades to grey
A9 E/A D
Where the sun rises sixteen times a day
A9 E/A D
You can’t make out borders from up here
A9 E/A D
Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere
( C C5 C )
D A9
Pushed back in my seat
Em
Look out my window
D C
Here comes home
D A9
What once was fuelled by fear
Em D C
Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here
[Refrão]
G D
So sing your song I’m listening
A9 G/B C D
Out where stars are glistening I can
Em D C ( C C5 C )
hear your voices bouncing off the moon
G D
If you could see our nation
A9 G/B C D
From the international space station
Em D C
You’d know why I want to get back soon
Em D C
You’d know why I want to get back soon
