[Verse 1]
C#m7When I was 3, my F#mother said to me

And C#m7left her there... you F#shoulda seen her face
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C#m7When I was 5, the F#dream was still alive
And C#m7Walter Cronkite said: "One F#day we'll earn our daily bread
C#m7Conducting things in F#outer space"
But sC#m7till on earth I thrive... and F#you pretend I'm not alive
[Chorus]
And Awalk by with my substiG#7tute
While I F#fasten the oxygen C#m7valve
On my space BmsuitBm7

C#m7When I was 8, we shared a F#cloakrack - it was great
C#m7And I pretended I F#had so much on my plate
I C#m7had a speech to write, about F#moonshot trajectory
And C#m7during phonics class, perF#fected my delivery

Now the Aband's playing "Hail to the G#7Chief"
While my F#capsule's out floating by C#sus4some

Regarding your D#mmotives
In the G#7cape canaveral G#m7crash... (cape canaveral A#7crash)

It puzzles me G#m7so...
