E F#m E G#m F#m E B A x2

E F#m E G#m F#m E B A

When I was young I told my mum gonna walk on the moon someday

E F#m E G#m F#m E B A

Armstrong and Aldrin spoke to me through Houston and Cape Kennedy

C#m A E A E (arp.)

and I watched the Eagle landing on a night when the moon was full

A G#m A E B

and as it tugged at the tides I knew that deep inside I too could feel

A $

its pull

E F#m E G#m F#m E x2

E F#m E G#m F#m E B A

I lie in my bed and dreamed I walked on the sea of tranquillity

E F#m E G#m F#m E B

I knew that someday soon we'd all sail to the moon on the high tide of

A

technology

C#m A E A E (arp.)

but the dreams had all been taken and the window seats taken too

A G#m A E B

and two thousand & one has almost come and gone what am I supposed to do?

[chorus]:

A E A E A

now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get

E

to the moon

A E A E B

now that the space race is over and I can't help but feel that we've all

A $

grown up too soon

E F#m E G#m F#m E x2

C#m A E A E

now my dreams have all been shattered and my wings are tattered too

A G#m A E B

and I can still fly but not half as high as once I wanted to

A E A E A

now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get

E

to the moon

A E A E B

now that the space race is over and I can't help but think that we've all

A $

grown up too soon

E F#m E G#m F#m E x2

E F#m E G#m F#m E B A

my son and I stand beneath the great night sky and we gaze up in wonder

E F#m E G#m F#m E B A

I tell him the tale of apollo and he says yeah but why did they ever go?

C#m A E A

It may look like some empty gesture to go all that was just to come

E (arp.)

back

A G#m A E B

but don't offer me a place out in cyber space coz where in the hell's

that at?

A E A E A

now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get

E

out of my room

A E A E B

now that the space race is over and I can't help but think that we're all

A

just going nowhere
