Intro: Em Dsus2/F# G Am (2x)
verse 1
Em Dsus2/F# G Am
The baby won't stop screaming, there are holes in the ceiling.
Em Dsus2/F# G Am Em
We're all running on empty, all I can think about is leaving.
Dsus2/F# G Am Em
The lift's beyond repair, screw faces, head down, take the stairs
Dsus2/F# G
And soon I'm gonna be floating away.
Am C/G
Do you remember you used to say...
C/G G
What'll it be like when we get older?
D Em Dsus2/F# C/G
We can be far away from here, we're going to the moon my dear.
C/G G D Em Dsus2/F#
I see the spaceman over my shoulder, wave to earth and disappear.
G Am
Floating away.
Em Dsus2/F# G Am
Floating away.
verse 2
Em Dsus2/F# G Am
I got a job in a kitchen, till I got sick of their bitching.
Em Dsus2/F# G Am Em
Future seemed like fiction. I'm on an intergalactic mission
Dsus2/F# G Am Em
but back on earth the time ticked on. I looked around and wondered where had my spaceman gone?
Dsus2/F# G Am
Like all those promises of childhood, if I could find a way to keep them like I should, you know I would,
C/G
Instead of floating away every time I could.
C/G G
What'll it be like when we get older?
D Em Dsus2/F# C/G
We can be far away from here, we're going to the moon my dear.
C/G G D Em
I see the spaceman over my shoulder, wave to earth and disappear.
Dsus2/F# C/G
I can't breathe at this atmosphere.
G B
Is it just me or did it get colder? We can be far away from...

verse 3
Em Dsus2/F# G Am
The baby stopped it's screaming, am I awake or dreaming?
Em Dsus2/F# G Am
The time is different up here and even though you're gone I feel you near.
Em Dsus2/F# G Am Em
And so for what it's worth, there's nothing left for me down on earth.
Dsus2/F# G Am C/G
I didn't even notice you went away, but I remember you used to say...
Final Chorus
G
What'll it be like when we get older?
D Em Dsus2/F# C/G
We can be far away from here, we're going to the moon my dear.
C/G G D C/G
I see the spaceman over my shoulder, wave to earth and disappear,
C/G G D Em
If I could have one more chance to just hold her, maybe I could face this fear,
Dsus2/F# C/G
I can't breathe at this atmosphere.
C/G G
And is it just me or did it get colder?
D B Em Dsus2/F#
Lying alone it's all so clear, and from up here, I love how tiny down there everything appears.
G Am Em Dsus2/F#
Floating away.
G Am Em Dsus2/F#
Floating away.
G Am Em Dsus2/F#
Floating away.
G Am Em
Floating away...
