Intro: Em, D, Am, C, G 

verse 1 
Em   D               Am 
  On solid fuel and wires, 
         C       D          Em 
Turn the key and light the fire, 
       D                Am   C   G 
We're leaving Earth today. 

verse 2 

This rocket's burning bright, 
We'll soon be out of sight, 
And orbiting in Space. 

Pre-Chorus 

D                 Am    
Pushed back in my seat, 
            G     
Look out my window, 
D          Cadd9 
There goes home. 
D                  Am 
That ball of shiny blue, 
       G         D         Cadd9     
Houses everybody anybody ever knew. 


              G          D 
So  sing your song, I'm listening, 
Am         Am/B    Am/C     D 
Out where stars are glistening, 
     Em               D                 C  
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon. 
(C)           G       D 
 If you could see our nation, 
Am         Am/B    Am/C     D 
From the International Space Station, 
     Em               D                 C   
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon). 


verse 3 
Eighteen thousand miles an hour, 
Fueled by science and solar power, 
The ocean's racing past. 

verse 4 
At half a thousand tons, 
Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun, 
A bullet can't go half as fast. 

Pre-Chorus 
Floating from my seat, 
Look out my window, 
There goes home (There goes home). 
That brilliant ball of blue, 
Is where I'm from and also where I'm going to. 


              G          D 
So  sing your song, I'm listening, 
Am         Am/B    Am/C     D 
Out where stars are glistening, 
     Em               D                 C  
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon. 
(C)           G       D 
 If you could see our nation, 
Am         Am/B    Am/C     D 
From the International Space Station, 
     Em               D                 C   
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon). 


Bridge:
 
A           E                    D 
All black and white just fades to gray, 
A           E                    D 
Where the Sun rises sixteen times a day (Day), 
A           E                    D 
You can't make out borders from up here, 
A           E                    D 
Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere). 

Break
 
Cadd9 

Pre-Chorus 
Pushed back in my seat, 
Look out my window, 
Here comes home (Home). 
What once was fueled by fear, 
Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here. 


              G          D 
So  sing your song, I'm listening, 
Am         Am/B    Am/C     D 
Out where stars are glistening, 
     Em               D                 C  
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon. 
(C)           G       D 
 If you could see our nation, 
Am         Am/B    Am/C     D 
From the International Space Station, 
     Em               D                 C   
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon). 


Outro 
G                D                   C 
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), 
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), 
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), 
You'd know why I want to get back soon.
