Intro:
E MajorE G# minorG#m C# minorC#m BB

Verse 1:
    E MajorE        G# minorG#m       C# minorC#m     BB
so they left me sitting here, I saw them talking with themselves
     E MajorE       C# minorC#m     F#F#      A augmentedA
about the way, about the way, I would hopefully be found
      E MajorE           G# minorG#m     C# minorC#m       BB
then they crouched down nice and low and they whispered in my ear
      E MajorE       C# minorC#m       F#F#       A augmentedA       F#F#       A augmentedA
about the land about the land, that would have me in the end, my mother whispered to me again

Pre-Chorus:
 E MajorE     G# minorG#m      C# minorC#m      G# minorG#m   A augmentedA         BB
goodbye my love, this is where I disappear, remember to drink and eat
         E MajorE       BB       C# minorC#m        F#F#      BB            E MajorE
make your transmissions religiously and a ship will come for you I swear just keep your blanket on the moon


Verse 2:
       E MajorE       G# minorG#m      C# minorC#m     BB
she said the earth is right there, a mere light second away
     E MajorE       C# minorC#m    F#F#      A augmentedA
and the humans all look up in the most peculiar way
       E MajorE          G# minorG#m   C# minorC#m        BB
with that she brushed the moondust off and turned to hide her tears
E MajorE       C# minorC#m         F#F#        A augmentedA
are you coming back? I asked, she said it could be years
   F#F#         A augmentedA       F#F#          A augmentedA        F#F#         A augmentedA
that I should get some rest, then she tucked me in for the last time as her heart broke in her chest


Pre-Chorus:
 E MajorE   G# minorG#m      C# minorC#m      G# minorG#m   A augmentedA         BB
bye my love, this is where I disappear, remember to drink and eat
         E MajorE       BB       C# minorC#m        F#F#      BB            E MajorE               E MajorE
make your transmissions religiously and a ship will come for you I swear just keep your blanket on the moon,
BB           E MajorE
a better life awaits you


Chorus:
  E MajorE C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m         A augmentedA           BB
and I’ll be right there, when you’re shacked up against the moon,
  E MajorE C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m         A augmentedA       BB   E MajorE
and I’ll be right there, I’ll be your blanket on the moon

Verse 3:
   E MajorE        G# minorG#m     C# minorC#m         BB
the day the earthship came, I was thrilled to see the light
   E MajorE         C# minorC#m        F#F#      A augmentedA
and I waved with all my heart to show the humans I was alright
  E MajorE        G# minorG#m   C# minorC#m         BB
but as the ship got closer it wasn't the kind that lands
     E MajorE    C# minorC#m      F#F#      A augmentedA
more the kind that comes from an air missile defense
       F#F#       A augmentedA       F#F#     A augmentedA
and just as I felt the first shock from the supersonic front


Pre-Chorus:
   C# minorC#m             A augmentedA
I was catapulted into space by the exothermic guns
   BB
and I hope I find someone soon, someone who won’t destroy their moon,
   B7B7                           E MajorE
when all my wounds are cauterized, no xenophobic enterprise


Chorus:
  E MajorE C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m         A augmentedA           BB
and I’ll be right there, when you’re shacked up against the moon,
  E MajorE C# minorC#m    C#C#
and I’ll be right there


Bridge:
             F# minorF#m           BB              E MajorE     G# minorG#m   A augmentedA
and now I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out for someone to help me down
         F# minorF#m         BB              C# minorC#m
I’m reaching out again, reaching out again for someone to help me out
         F# minorF#m          BB              E MajorE     G# minorG#m   A augmentedA
I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out for someone to help me down
         F# minorF#m         BB
I’m reaching out again, reaching out again

Pre-Chorus:
   BB
and I hope I find someone soon, someone who won’t destroy their moon,
   B7B7                          E MajorE
when all my wounds are cauterized, no xenophobic enterprise


Chorus:
  E MajorE C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m         A augmentedA          BB
and I’ll be right there, when you’re shacked up against the moon
E MajorE C# minorC#m    C#C#
I’ll be right there
  E MajorE C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m     A augmentedA   BB
and I’ll be right there, only once removed,
  E MajorE C# minorC#m    C#C#
and I’ll be right there


Verse 4:
 E MajorE       G# minorG#m        C# minorC#m     BB
last thing I remember, I grabbed onto a microsphere
   E MajorE       C# minorC#m     F#F#         A augmentedA
and I must’ve been talking in my sleep to all those who could hear
     E MajorE          G# minorG#m            C# minorC#m        BB
because I woke up in mid-conversation with these little critters in formal dress
     E MajorE         C# minorC#m      F#F#      A augmentedA
and they motioned for me to come as if I’d already said yes
        F#F#      A augmentedA         F#F#       A augmentedA
they said I was lucky to be alive they did not think anything survived


Outro:
 E MajorE     G# minorG#m      C# minorC#m      G# minorG#m   A augmentedA         BB
goodbye my love, this is where I disappear, remember to drink and eat
         E MajorE       BB       C# minorC#m        F#F#      BB
make your transmissions religiously and a ship will come for you I swear just keep your blanket on the moon,
             E MajorE
a better life awaits you soon
