(verse)

Bb         Bb/G
All of the astronauts
             Cm
Champagne in plastic cups
        F#          F       Bb
Waiting for the big hero to show.
Bb          Bb/G
Outside the door he stands
         Cm
His head in his hands
        F#           F
and his heart in his throat.

(chorus)

Eb          Bb
What can he tell them now?
Eb      C
Sorry I let you down
Eb       F            Bb
Sorry it wasn't quite true.
    Eb        Bb
But don't get hung up on it
Eb           C
Just soldier on with it.
    Eb             F            Bb
And good luck with shooting the moon.

Bb         Bb/G
All of the principals
             Cm
generals admirals
        F#          F       Bb
And the podium lit with the spotlight
Bb          Bb/G
Crowd buzzes quietly
         Cm
waiting expectantly
        F#           F
like it's opening night

(chorus)

Eb          Bb
What can he tell them now?
Eb      C
Sorry I let you down
Eb       F            Bb
Sorry it wasn't quite true.
    Eb        Bb
But don't get hung up on it
Eb           C
Just soldier on with it.
    Eb             F            Bb
And good luck with shooting the moon.
