Em Dsus2/F# G Am
Em Dsus2/F# G Am
[Verse 1]
    EmThe baby Dsus2/F#won't stop screaming,   Gthere are Amholes in the ceiling. 
    EmWe're all Dsus2/F#running on empty,   Gall I can Amthink about is leaviEmng.
The lift's beDsus2/F#yond repair,    Gscrew faces, Amhead down, take the sEmtairs
And soon I'm gonna be Dsus2/F#floating away.G  
Do you reAmmember you used to C/Gsay...
[Chorus 1]
     C/GWhat'll it be like when we get Golder? 
We can be Dfar away from Emhere, we're going Dsus2/F#to the moon my C/Gdear.
     C/GI see the spaceman over my Gshoulder, wave to Dearth and disaEmppear.Dsus2/F#  
FGloating aAmway.
    Em           Dsus2/F#FGloating aAmway.
[Verse 2]
   EmI got a jDsus2/F#ob in a kitchen,  Gtill I got Amsick of their bitching. 
   EmFuture seDsus2/F#emed like fiction.  GI'm on an inAmtergalactic Emmission
but back on earth the Dsus2/F#time ticked on.  GI looked around and wondered Amwhere had my spaceman Emgone?
Like all those Dsus2/F#promises of childhood,  Gif I could find a way to Amkeep them like I should, you know I would,
Instead of floating away every time I C/Gcould.
[Chorus 2]
     C/GWhat'll it be like when we get Golder? 
We can be Dfar away from Emhere, we're going Dsus2/F#to the moon my C/Gdear.
     C/GI see the spaceman over my Gshoulder, wave to Dearth and disaEmppear.
I can't breathe Dsus2/F#at this atmosC/Gphere.
Is it just me or did it get Gcolder? We can be Bfar away from...

I can't breathe Dsus2/F#at this atmosC/Gphere.
     C/GAnd is it just me or did it Gget colder? 
Lying aDlone it's all so cBlear, and from up here, I love how tiny down there everything aEmppeaDsus2/F#rs.

We're all running on empty, all I can think about is leaving.

Floating away.

[Verse 2]

Em Dsus2/F# G Am

I got a job in a kitchen, till I got sick of their bitching.

Em Dsus2/F# G Am Em

Future seemed like fiction. I'm on an intergalactic mission

Dsus2/F# G Am Em

but back on earth the time ticked on. I looked around and wondered where had my spaceman gone?

Dsus2/F# G Am

Like all those promises of childhood, if I could find a way to keep them like I should, you know I would,

C/G

Instead of floating away every time I could.

What'll it be like when we get older?

If I could have one more chance to just hold her, maybe I could face this fear,

Dsus2/F# C/G

I can't breathe at this atmosphere.

C/G G

And is it just me or did it get colder?
