TO THE MOON AND BACK (SAVAGE GARDEN)

  INTRO:   
          Cm –
          Cm – Bb – Gm – G# – (2x)

                                 Cm
  She’s taking her time
                              Bb
  Making up the reasons
Gm                           G#
  To justify all the hurt inside
                        Cm
  Guess she knows from the smile
                  Bb
  And the look in their eyes
            Gm
  Everyone’s got a theory
                     G#
  About the bitter one

  They’re saying
Cm
  Mamma never loved her much
       Bb
  And daddy never keeps in touch
Gm
  That’s why she shies away
             G#
  From human affection
     Cm
  But somewhere in a private place
            Bb
  She packs her bags for outer space
Gm
  And now she’s waiting for the
               G#
  Right kind of pilot to come

  And she’ll say to him

  She’s  saying

Cm                                G#
    I would fly to the moon and back
                   Bb               Gm
    If you’ll be, if you’ll be my baby
Cm                                G#                            Bb
    Got a ticket for a world where we belong
                            Gm
    So would you be my baby

  AD LIB:   Cm – Bb – Gm – G# –

                                            Cm
  She can’t remember a time
                             Bb
  When she felt needed
Gm                                                G#
  If love was red then she was colour blind
                  Cm
  All her friends they’ve been tried for
           Bb
          treason
             Gm                                        G#
  And crimes that were never defined

                     Cm
  She’s saying love is like a barren place
        Bb
  And reaching out for human faith is
Gm                                      G#
  Is like a journey I just don’t have a map for
   Cm
  So baby’s gonna take a dive and
Bb
  Push the shift to overdrive
Gm                                        G#
  Send a signal that she’s hanging

  All her hopes on the stars

  What a pleasant dream

  Just saying

Cm                                G#
    I would fly to the moon and back
                   Bb               Gm
    If you’ll be, if you’ll be my baby
Cm                                G#                            Bb
    Got a ticket for a world where we belong
                            Gm
    So would you be my baby
