[Intro]
AmF6
    (x4)
[Verse 1]
        Am
She was lookin' like a friend of mine
          F6
The first time I saw her face
Am
I was approaching at the end of the line
    F6                                Am
The first time I ever saw her smile at me that way
[Chorus]
      Fmaj7
I was sailing in the Milky Way
F6              Fmaj7         G
Losing track of memories that weren't that day
             A
Right by her side
        Fmaj7                           F6
As the stars flew by I did collide with memory
    Fmaj7        G
But somehow I survived
           A
And became free
[Instrumental]
AmF6
   (x7)
[Verse 2]
        Am
She was walking like she knew
F6
Where she was going
Am
Walking like she knew
        F6                  Am
She was walking right up to me
[Chorus]
      Fmaj7
I was sailing in the Milky Way
F6              Fmaj7         G
Losing track of memories that weren't that day
             A
Right by her side
        Fmaj7                           F6
As the stars flew by I did collide with memory
    Fmaj7        G
But somehow I survived
           A
And became free
[Bridge]
     Dm               G
The starry night with no moonshine
    C             F
The day without a cloud
Dm                G
A long ladder but no one climbing
C                 A
A stranger in the crowd
[Instrumental]
AmF6
   (x7)
[Verse 3]
          Am
There's a mermaid in the Milky Way
        F6
With an ocean liner
        Am
There's no moon tonight so you might see her
        F6
And her ocean liner
           Am
Up in the stars
[Chorus]
      Fmaj7
I was sailing in the Milky Way
F6              Fmaj7         G
Losing track of memories that weren't that day
             A
Right by her side
        Fmaj7                           F6
As the stars flew by I did collide with memory
    Fmaj7        G
But somehow I survived
           A
And became free
[Outro]
Am  F6
