Intro: Em D Am C D 

Verse 1:
 
Em   D               Am 
  On solid fuel and wires, 
         C       D          Em 
Turn the key and light the fire, 
       D                Am   C   D 
We're leaving Earth today. 

Verse 2:

This rocket's burning bright, 
We'll soon be out of sight, 
And orbiting in Space. 

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


[Refrão]

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



Verse 3:
 
Eighteen thousand miles an hour, 
Fueled by science and solar power, 
The ocean's racing past. 

Verse 4 
At half a thousand tons, 
Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun, 
A bullet can't go half as fast. 

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


[Refrão]

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



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

Break 
(Strum each chord once) 
Cadd9, D, Cadd9 

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


[Refrão]

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



Outro: 
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), 
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), 
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), 
You'd know why I want to get back soon.
