What a world I was living in Just laying there on my back
E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E
Space traveler single digit age A solitary track
E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E E F#(open E’s) A
From the capsule of my little ship Launched from the living room
E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E
My distant planet was beckoning
F# A E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E E F#(open E’s)A
Slowly, beautifully she came into view
Chorus
A Abm7 G E
Some might hide when she looks them in the eye With a beauty so hard to behold
A Abm7 G B B
I thought I’d try and it did make me cry But the tears were just washing me home
E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E E F#(open E’s) E
Every porthole of my little ship
Had a different view
One showed the breadth of my family home
Another just my room
One beheld the wonder of the galaxies
Another all of history
And one special window in no secret place
Showed me absolutely everything
Chorus
Some might hide when she looks them in the eye
With a beauty so hard to behold
I thought I’d try and yes, it made me cry But the tears were just washing me home
A E
Everyone would walk by but I’d just hide
G D (pause)
All the sensors were set to roam
F C
Celestial flares flying everywhere
F#m7 (no 5) B7
Sped the captain of the cosmos home
E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E
Now so much time has gone by Yet somehow it seems not a blip
E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E F# A
And when the world is closing in I still climb inside…
E F#(open E’s) A (open E’s) E E F# A E F# A E
