Em  D  Am  C  G

[Verse 1]
Em   D               Am
  On solid fuel and wires,
         C       D          Em
Turn the key and light the fire,
       D                Am   C   G  Em
We're leaving Earth today.
     D                Am 
This rocket's burning bright,
       C      G      Em 
We'll soon be out of sight,
    D           Am   
And orbiting in Space.

[Pre-Chorus]
D                 Am   
Pushed back in my seat,
            G    
Look out my window,
D          Cadd9
There goes home.
D                  Am
That ball of shiny blue,
       G         D         Cadd9    
Houses everybody anybody ever knew.

[Chorus]
              G          D
So  sing your song, I'm listening,
Am         G           C        
Out where stars are glistening,
  D   Em               D                 Cadd9 
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C)           G       D
 If you could see our nation,
         Am   G     C        D
From the International Space Station,
     Em               D           C  
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).

[Verse 2]
Em       D                 Am
Eighteen thousand miles an hour,
          C           D     Em
Fueled by science and solar power,
    D              Am    C  G  Em
The ocean's racing past.
   D               Am  
At half a thousand tons,
       C         D      Em
Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun,
  D               Am  
A bullet can't go half as fast.

[Pre-Chorus]
D                Am  
Floating from my seat,
            G
Look out my window,
D          Cadd9
There goes home (There goes home).
D                      Am
That brilliant ball of blue,
   G                  D              Cadd9
Is where I'm from and also where I'm going to.

[Chorus]
              G          D
So  sing your song, I'm listening,
Am         G           C        
Out where stars are glistening,
  D   Em               D                 Cadd9 
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C)           G       D
 If you could see our nation,
         Am   G     C        D
From the International Space Station,
     Em               D           C  
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).

[Bridge]
A           E                    D
All black and white just fades to gray,
           A        E               D
Where the Sun rises sixteen times a day (Day),
A                  E               D
You can't make out borders from up here,
       A                 E         D
Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere).

[Break]
Cadd9

[Pre-Chorus]
D                 Am 
Pushed back in my seat,
            G 
Look out my window,
D          Cadd9
Here comes home (Home).
D                       Am 
What once was fueled by fear,
        G               D          Cadd9
Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here.

[Chorus]
              G          D
So  sing your song, I'm listening,
Am         G           C        
Out where stars are glistening,
  D   Em               D                 Cadd9 
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C)           G       D
 If you could see our nation,
         Am   G     C        D
From the International Space Station,
     Em               D           C  
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).

[Outro]
G                D                   Cadd9
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
G                D                   Cadd9
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
G                D                   Cadd9
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
G                D                   Cmaj7
You'd know why I want to get back soon.
