                           Cm                      Bb
She's taking her time making up the reasons
Gm                      G#      
To justify all the hurt inside
             Cm                                        Bb
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
        Gm                                              G#
Everyones got a theory about the bitter one

                          Cm                                                       Bb   
They're saying, "Mamma never loved her much" And, "Daddy never keeps in

touch" "Thats why she shies away from human affection"
    Cm                                              Bb
But somewhere in a private place she packs her bag for outer space
Gm                                               G#
And now shes waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
(hold out on G#)                                        
And she'll say to him Shes saying


ref.
Cm                                   G#                                  Bb                      Eb       G
  I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
Cm                                     G#                          Bb
  I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
                   Eb     G
So would you be my baby?

She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was colour blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined

She's saying, "Love is like a barren place, and reaching out for human faith is,Is like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that shes hanging all her hopes on the stars
What a pleasent dream Just saying

I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

solo, 

Mamma never loved her much and Daddy never keeps in touch
Thats why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place she packs her bag for outer space
And now shes waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him Just saying

I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby ... yeah
