 On a bEm7lack and white Cadd9tv back in gGrammar school
 I was Em7watchin Neil Cadd9Armstrong walkin oGn the moon
 That Cadd9same day i Dm7pretended I was an Em7Astronaut
 On the playground Cadd9monkey bars i flew Dm7above the sDtars
              -Chorus-
 Em7       Cadd9      G            G w/o Astring&move top E to the 2nd fret
     Em7      Cadd9    G      play through with the chord above
         Em7      Cadd9                 G and again same chord above
         Cadd9     G          same chord as above and end on em7
 Every Em7twenty-thousand Cadd9years that comet lights Gup the night
 On a Em7blanket we Cadd9watched it sail Gacross the sky
 A Cadd9moment like Dm7this just Em7comes once in life
 Felt like our Cadd9first time in at eleven Dm7thirty-fivDe
 I Em7remember when i Cadd9met you the Gtaste of our first kiss
   Em7           Cadd9       G                 Dm7
 Dback to chorus
 I remember your goodbye but could you tell me this
