Tom: Am
Am D Am
It's minus ten and counting, and soon she will be gone
G C D Am E7
That shining stub-winged angel that we've pinned our hopes upon
Am C F G Am
And even as she waits she seems to strain to touch the sky
C Dm F Em G Am
It's minus ten and counting, and we wait - for her to fly
[Chorus]
D G Am D Am
It's minus ten and counting, and time is passing fast
D G F G Em Am
It's minus ten and counting; will our next choice - be our last?
[Verse 2]
D Am
It's minus ten and counting for the plan that gave her birth
G C D Am E7
The plan that will determine if we ever leave the earth
Am C F G Am
Will we choose to throw the plan away, forget our need to know?
C Dm F Em G Am
It's minus ten and counting; will we stay - or will we go?
[Chorus]
D G Am D Am
It's minus ten and counting, and time is passing fast
D G F G Em Am
It's minus ten and counting; will our next choice - be our last?
[Verse 3]
Dm Am
It's minus ten and counting for the world on which we live
G C D Am E7
We're swiftly using all this lovely planet has to give
Am G C F G Am
The pressure builds, and soon the chance to escape will pass us by
C D F Em G Am
It's minus ten and counting: will we grow - or will we die?
[Chorus]
D G Am D Am
It's minus ten and counting, and time is passing fast
D G F G Em Am
It's minus ten and counting; will our next choice - be our last?
