Intro: E minorEm Dsus2/F# G+G A minorAm (2x)

verse 1
E minorEm      Dsus2/F#       G+G      A minorAm
  The baby won't stop screaming,  there are holes in the ceiling.
E minorEm      Dsus2/F#     G+G      A minorAm         E minorEm
  We're all running on empty,  all I can think about is leaving.
       Dsus2/F#  G+G        A minorAm          E minorEm
The lift's beyond repair,  screw faces, head down, take the stairs
           Dsus2/F#    G+G
And soon I'm gonna be floating away.
     A minorAm         C/GC/G
Do you remember you used to say...

C/GC/G                 G+G
   What'll it be like when we get older?
     D MajorD       E minorEm        Dsus2/F#    C/GC/G
We can be far away from here, we're going to the moon my dear.
C/GC/G               G+G         D MajorD       E minorEm    Dsus2/F#
   I see the spaceman over my shoulder, wave to earth and disappear.
 G+G    A minorAm
Floating away.
E minorEm Dsus2/F# G+G    A minorAm
       Floating away.

verse 2
E minorEm     Dsus2/F#    G+G      A minorAm
  I got a job in a kitchen, till I got sick of their bitching.
E minorEm     Dsus2/F#      G+G      A minorAm     E minorEm
  Future seemed like fiction. I'm on an intergalactic mission
           Dsus2/F#    G+G               A minorAm          E minorEm
but back on earth the time ticked on. I looked around and wondered where had my spaceman gone?
        Dsus2/F#       G+G             A minorAm
Like all those promises of childhood, if I could find a way to keep them like I should, you know I would,
                   C/GC/G
Instead of floating away every time I could.

C/GC/G                 G+G
   What'll it be like when we get older?
     D MajorD       E minorEm        Dsus2/F#    C/GC/G
We can be far away from here, we're going to the moon my dear.
C/GC/G               G+G         D MajorD       E minorEm
   I see the spaceman over my shoulder, wave to earth and disappear.
        Dsus2/F#   C/GC/G
I can't breathe at this atmosphere.
              G+G         BB
Is it just me or did it get colder? We can be far away from...

verse 3
E minorEm     Dsus2/F#        G+G    A minorAm
  The baby stopped it's screaming,  am I awake or dreaming?
E minorEm       Dsus2/F#     G+G            A minorAm
  The time is different up here  and even though you're gone I feel you near.
E minorEm      Dsus2/F#    G+G         A minorAm         E minorEm
  And so for what it's worth,  there's nothing left for me down on earth.
       Dsus2/F#     G+G      A minorAm         C/GC/G
I didn't even notice you went away, but I remember you used to say...

Final Chorus
                G+G
What'll it be like when we get older?
     D MajorD       E minorEm        Dsus2/F#    C/GC/G
We can be far away from here, we're going to the moon my dear.
C/GC/G               G+G         D MajorD       C/GC/G
   I see the spaceman over my shoulder, wave to earth and disappear,
C/GC/G                     G+G        D MajorD         E minorEm
   If I could have one more chance to just hold her, maybe I could face this fear,
        Dsus2/F#   C/GC/G
I can't breathe at this atmosphere.
C/GC/G               G+G
   And is it just me or did it get colder?
    D MajorD         BB                               E minorEm Dsus2/F#
Lying alone it's all so clear, and from up here, I love how tiny down there everything appears.

 G+G     A minorAm E minorEm Dsus2/F#
Floating away.
 G+G     A minorAm E minorEm Dsus2/F#
Floating away.
 G+G     A minorAm E minorEm Dsus2/F#
Floating away.
 G+G     A minorAm E minorEm
Floating away...
