Intro: Em, D, Am, C, G
verse 1
Em D Am
On solid fuel and wires,
C D Em
Turn the key and light the fire,
D Am C G
We're leaving Earth today.
verse 2
This rocket's burning bright,
We'll soon be out of sight,
And orbiting in Space.
Pre-Chorus
D Am
Pushed back in my seat,
G
Look out my window,
D Cadd9
There goes home.
D Am
That ball of shiny blue,
G D Cadd9
Houses everybody anybody ever knew.
G D
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Am Am/B Am/C D
Out where stars are glistening,
Em D C
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C) G D
If you could see our nation,
Am Am/B Am/C D
From the International Space Station,
Em D C
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
verse 3
Eighteen thousand miles an hour,
Fueled by science and solar power,
The ocean's racing past.
verse 4
At half a thousand tons,
Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun,
A bullet can't go half as fast.
Pre-Chorus
Floating from my seat,
Look out my window,
There goes home (There goes home).
That brilliant ball of blue,
Is where I'm from and also where I'm going to.
G D
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Am Am/B Am/C D
Out where stars are glistening,
Em D C
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C) G D
If you could see our nation,
Am Am/B Am/C D
From the International Space Station,
Em D C
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
Bridge:
A E D
All black and white just fades to gray,
A E D
Where the Sun rises sixteen times a day (Day),
A E D
You can't make out borders from up here,
A E D
Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere).
Break
Cadd9
Pre-Chorus
Pushed back in my seat,
Look out my window,
Here comes home (Home).
What once was fueled by fear,
Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here.
G D
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Am Am/B Am/C D
Out where stars are glistening,
Em D C
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C) G D
If you could see our nation,
Am Am/B Am/C D
From the International Space Station,
Em D C
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
Outro
G D C
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
You'd know why I want to get back soon.
