To the Moon and Back
Artist: Savage Garden
Album: Savage Garden
Transcribed by: Ginger (fireinsidetheman@hotmail.com)
Format: Chords
Intro: Cm Bb Gm Ab
Cm Bb Gm Ab
she’s taking her time making up the reasons to justify all the hurt inside
Cm Bb
guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Gm Ab
everyone’s got a theory about the bitter one
Cm Bb Gm
they’re saying "mamma never loved her much" and "daddy never keeps in touch
Ab Cm
that’s why she shies away from human affection" but
Bb Gm
somewhere in a private place she packs her bags for outer space
Cm Cm
and now she’s waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
and she’ll say to him she’s saying
Chorus:
Cm Ab Bb Gm
I would fly to the moon and back if you’ll be if you’ll be my baby
Cm Ab Bb Gm
got a ticket for a world where we belong so would you be my baby?
Cm Bb Gm Ab
Cm Bb Gm Ab
she can’t remember a time when she felt needed if love was red than she was colorblind
Cm Bb Gm Ab
all her friends they’ve been tried for treason and crimes that were never defined
Cm Bb Gm
she’s saying "love is like a barren place and reaching out for human faith is
Ab Cm
is like a journey I just don’t have a map for" so
Bb Gm
baby’s gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive
Ab Abmaj7
send a signal that she’s hanging all her hopes on the stars
what a pleasant dream she’s saying
(chorus)
Cm Bb Gm Ab (x8)
Cm Bb Gm
mamma never loved her much and daddy never keeps in touch
Ab Cm
that’s why she shies away from human affection but
Bb Gm
somewhere in a private place she packs her bags for outer space
Cm Cm
and now she’s waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
and she’ll say to him she’s saying
(chorus twice)
