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

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


Verse 2:
             E              G#m            C#m          B
she said the earth is right there, a mere light second away
         E              C#m       F#            A
and the humans all look up in the most peculiar way
              E                    G#m     C#m                B
with that she brushed the moondust off and turned to hide her tears
E              C#m                 F#               A
are you coming back? I asked, she said it could be years
     F#                 A             F#                    A               F#                 A
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     G#m           C#m           G#m      A                 B
bye my love, this is where I disappear, remember to drink and eat
                 E              B              C#m                F#           B                       E                              E
make your transmissions religiously and a ship will come for you I swear just keep your blanket on the moon,
B                     E
a better life awaits you


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


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


Pre-Chorus:
      C#m                          A
I was catapulted into space by the exothermic guns
      B
and I hope I find someone soon, someone who won’t destroy their moon,
      B7                                                     E
when all my wounds are cauterized, no xenophobic enterprise


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


Bridge:
                         F#m                     B                           E          G#m      A
and now I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out for someone to help me down
                 F#m                  B                           C#m
I’m reaching out again, reaching out again for someone to help me out
                  F#m                    B                           E          G#m      A
I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out again, I’m reaching out for someone to help me down
                 F#m                  B
I’m reaching out again, reaching out again

when all my wounds are cauterized, no xenophobic enterprise

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

 E         G#m           C#m           G#m     A                  B
goodbye my love, this is where I disappear, remember to drink and eat
                 E              B              C#m                F#           B
