C          Dm
They never called me

G         C
Up to the tower.

C          Dm
We gave it to them

G            C
They had the power.

    Am
And power is the thing

     C                      G
That made you take off from me.


C                       Dm
We trained hard for the mission

G            C
All floating over.

C                    Dm
Though we're in zero gravity

G            C
It pulled us closer.


G
(The little interlude between verses)


C                       Dm
We were once off to the planets

G          C
Inside our spacesuits.

C                        Dm
Now I'm left here on the landing

G            C
The rocket's flame boost.

         Am
And it's leaving without me

    C                 Bm
And you go off to the stars


B A4 A
(Transition into 3rd verse, and new key)


D                           Em
Goodbye goodbye look as the clouds burst

A               D
They're growing taller.

D                              Em
And as your ship leaves in the distance

A             D
My world gets smaller.

       Bm
And it takes you worlds away

  D                        A
A million light-years from me.


D Em A
