G
Won herself a pass to some far off moon

       G
It was second class, but what's to lose and

C5
Lookin' out her window she could more than assume

         A5
That you can't see air or time.

          G
She's the only rocketeer in the whole damn place

     D
They gave her a mirror so she could take to her face

    C5
She still got plenty lonely but that's usually the case with

A5
Time, time , time.

She started hearing voices sometime in June

She knew she could go crazy but didn't think that soon
