G D A
I heard you when you said you wanted space
G D A
Can't live here anymore, gotta find my own separate place
G D
Take the world, boy, you can have it
A
I'll kiss it goodbye
G D
Build a rocket, put me on it
A
And shoot it straight to the sky
β« Chorus:
G D A
If there was a motel on the moon
G D Asus4
Would that be enough miles away for you?
Em D Asus4
I'd check in, say "I don't know how long I'm staying"
Em7 D Asus4
I'd give a fake name, tell 'em Earth is overrated
G D Em7
And I won't be going back there anytime soon
G D A
If there's a motel on the moon
β« Verse 2:

That's how far I'd go if it makes you happy
G D A
It's not down the road or halfway across the country

When I'm up there
I'll look back and see

Just how small you are

I'll be sippin' something on a grey rock

In some lobby bar
