Verse: 
Em              F           C 
So you saw that fire in the sky 
Em                     C      
Well I think that's so cool 
Em              F          C 
And I know that nothing'll change you 
        F        G 
You are nobody's fool 

C     G           C       F 
Cynthia won't you take me to 
C                 G 
Pyramid Lake with you 
         F              C                    F            C 
We could watch the spaceships, maybe they'll take us on a trip 
F                    Dm   F        G                C 
To that never ending sky,  to that wild and endless night. 
 
 
And you stood in their beam of light  
And they showed you the bones on the moon 
Well I hope I get to go there 
With you real soon 
 
(Chorus) 
 
And we get there before the sun sets  
And we put up your tent 
Watch the stars dance all night 
And watch the sun come up (watch that sun coming up) 
 
(Chorus)
