Is Somebody Singing

Is Somebody Singing

Ed Robertson and Chris Hatfield

[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]

Em      D              Am

This rocket's burning bright,

        C       D       Em

We'll soon be out of sight,

        D          Am   C  D

And orbiting in Space.

[Pre-Chorus]

D                 Am   

Pushed back in my seat,

            G    

Look out my window,

D          C

There goes home.

D                  Am

That ball of shiny blue,

       G         D         C        

Houses everybody anybody ever knew.

[Chorus]

               G          D

So  sing your song, I'm listening,

Am                     C

Out where stars are glistening,

      Em               D                 C 

I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.

(C)            G       D

 If you could see our nation,

         Am         C            D

From the International Space Station,

Em               D                C 

You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).

[Verse 3]

Em        D                  Am

Eighteen thousand miles an hour,

            C          D      Em

Fueled by science and solar power,

     D              Am   C D

The ocean's racing past.

[Verse 4]

Em    D            Am

At half a thousand tons,

          C       D      Em 

Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun,

   D               C        D

A bullet can't go half as fast.

[Pre-Chorus]

D                 Am

Floating from my seat,

              G

Look out my window,

D            C

There goes home (There goes home).

D                       Am

That brilliant ball of blue,

     G                 D              C       

Is where I'm from and also where I'm going to.

[Chorus]

               G          D

So  sing your song, I'm listening,

Am                     C

Out where stars are glistening,

      Em               D                C 

I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.

(C)            G       D

 If you could see our nation,

         Am         C            D

From the International Space Station,

Em               D                C 

You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).

[Bridge]

A              E                   D

All black and white just fades to gray,

          A           E              D

Where the Sun rises sixteen times a day (Day),

A              E                   D

You can't make out borders from up here,

           A           E              D

Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere).

[Pre-Chorus]

D                  Am

Pushed back in my seat,

               G

Look out my window,

D            C

Here comes home (Home).

D                         Am

What once was fueled by fear,

           G             D             C         

Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here.

[Chorus]

                G          D

So  sing your song, I'm listening,

Am                     C

Out where stars are glistening,

      Em               D                 C 

I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.

(C)            G       D

 If you could see our nation,

         Am         C            D

From the International Space Station,

Em               D                C 

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.
