Verse 1:
       C# minorC#m          A minorAm
You could lay down, in this hole you dug
     E MajorE         Bsus4Bsus4 BB
Just fade away into the red sand
      C# minorC#m          A minorAm
But we all know, it's not who you are
        E MajorE          Bsus4Bsus4    BB
You've come too far to be stranded on this star

  F# minorF#m                 E MajorE    G#G#
The things that got us here have little weight
  A augmentedA
Perhaps a chance to be a man

Come on, suit up and we won't let you fail

But this is so much bigger than anyone imagined -

Can't you see?

But you are not here on your own

We've got your back, we'll make it home

They'll know we gave it everything we had
