[Pre-Chorus]
gEoodbye my G#mlove, this is C#mwhere I disappG#mear, remAember to drink and Beat
make your transmiEssions religiouBsly and a ship C#mwill come for you I F#swear just kBeep your blanket on the Emoon
[Verse 2]
she said the Eearth is right G#mthere, a mere lC#might second aBway
and the hEumans all look C#mup in the F#most peculiar Away
with that she Ebrushed the moondust G#moff and C#mturned to hide her Btears
Eare you coming C#mback? I asked, she sF#aid it could be yAears
that F#I should get some rAest, then she F#tucked me in for the lAast time as her F#heart broke in her Achest
[Pre-Chorus]
bEye my G#mlove, this is C#mwhere I disappG#mear, remeAmber to drink and Beat

but Eas the ship got cG#mloser it C#mwasn't the kind that Blands
more the kEind that C#mcomes from an aF#ir missile defAense
and just as I F#felt the first sAhock from the sF#upersonic fAront
[Pre-Chorus]
I was C#mcatapulted into space by the Aexothermic guns
and I Bhope I find someone soon, someone who won’t destroy their moon,
when aB7ll my wounds are cauterized, no xenophobic enterpriseE  
[Chorus]
and EI’lC#ml be right G#mthere, when you’re sAhacked up against the Bmoon,

EI’lC#ml be right C#there
and EI’lC#ml be right G#mthere, only Aonce reBmoved,
and EI’lC#ml be right C#there
[Verse 4]
lEast thing I reG#mmember, I grabbed C#monto a microsBphere
and I Emust’ve been tC#malking in my F#sleep to all those Awho could hear
because I Ewoke up in mid-conveG#mrsation with these little C#mcritters in formal Bdress
and they mEotioned for me to C#mcome as if I’d F#already said Ayes
they said I was F#lucky to be aAlive they did not tF#hink anything sAurvived
[Outro]
gEoodbye my G#mlove, this is C#mwhere I disappG#mear, remAember to drink and Beat
make your transmiEssions religiouBsly and a ship C#mwill come for you I F#swear just kBeep your blanket on the moon,

[Intro]

E G#m C#m B

[Verse 1]

E G#m C#m B

so they left me sitting here, I saw them talking with themselves

E C#m F# A

about the way, about the way, I would hopefully be found

E G#m C#m B

then they crouched down nice and low and they whispered in my ear

E C#m F# A F# A

about the land about the land, that would have me in the end, my mother whispered to me again

[Pre-Chorus]

E G#m C#m G#m A B

goodbye my love, this is where I disappear, remember to drink and eat

E B C#m F# B E

make your transmissions religiously and a ship will come for you I swear just keep your blanket on the moon

[Verse 2]

E G#m C#m B

she said the earth is right there, a mere light second away

E C#m F# A

and the humans all look up in the most peculiar way

E G#m C#m B

with that she brushed the moondust off and turned to hide her tears

E C#m F# A

are you coming back? I asked, she said it could be years

F# A F# A F# A

that I should get some rest, then she tucked me in for the last time as her heart broke in her chest

[Pre-Chorus]

E G#m C#m G#m A B

bye my love, this is where I disappear, remember to drink and eat

a better life awaits you

and I’ll be right there, when you’re shacked up against the moon,

E C#m G#m A B E

and I’ll be right there, I’ll be your blanket on the moon

[Verse 3]

E G#m C#m B

the day the earthship came, I was thrilled to see the light

E C#m F# A

and I waved with all my heart to show the humans I was alright

E G#m C#m B

but as the ship got closer it wasn't the kind that lands

E C#m F# A

more the kind that comes from an air missile defense

F# A F# A

and just as I felt the first shock from the supersonic front

[Pre-Chorus]

C#m A

I was catapulted into space by the exothermic guns

and I hope I find someone soon, someone who won’t destroy their moon,

B7 E

when all my wounds are cauterized, no xenophobic enterprise

[Chorus]

E C#m G#m A B

and I’ll be right there, when you’re shacked up against the moon,

E C#m C#

and I’ll be right there

[Bridge]

F#m B E G#m A

and now I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out for someone to help me down

F#m B C#m

I’m reaching out again, reaching out again for someone to help me out

F#m B E G#m A

I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out for someone to help me down

F#m B

I’m reaching out again, reaching out again

[Solo]

E G#m C#m B

E C#m F# A

E G#m C#m B

E C#m F# A F# A

[Pre-Chorus]

and I hope I find someone soon, someone who won’t destroy their moon,

B7 E

when all my wounds are cauterized, no xenophobic enterprise

[Chorus]

E C#m G#m A B

and I’ll be right there, when you’re shacked up against the moon

E C#m C#

I’ll be right there

E C#m G#m A B

and I’ll be right there, only once removed,

E C#m C#

and I’ll be right there

[Verse 4]

E G#m C#m B

last thing I remember, I grabbed onto a microsphere

E C#m F# A

and I must’ve been talking in my sleep to all those who could hear

E G#m C#m B

because I woke up in mid-conversation with these little critters in formal dress

E C#m F# A

and they motioned for me to come as if I’d already said yes

F# A F# A

they said I was lucky to be alive they did not think anything survived

[Outro]

E G#m C#m G#m A B

goodbye my love, this is where I disappear, remember to drink and eat

E B C#m F# B

make your transmissions religiously and a ship will come for you I swear just keep your blanket on the moon,
