Lyrics

She’s tak ing her (Cm)time mak ing up the rea sons

to jus ti fy all the (Ab)hurt in side.

Guess she knows from the smiles and the (Bb)look in their eyes ev ’ry (Gm)one’s got a theo ry ’bout the (Ab)bit ter one.

They’re say ing, “Mam ma nev er loved her much,” and “Dad dy nev er keeps in touch.

That’s why she shies a way from (Ab)hu man af fect tion.” But some where in a pri vate place, she (Bb)packs her bags for out er space, and now she’s wait ing for the (Ab)right kind of pi lot to come.

She’s say ing, (Cm)I would fly to the (Ab)moon and back if you’ll be,

if you’ll be my ba by.

Got a tick et for a (Ab)world where we be long,

So would you be my ba by?

She can’t re mem ber a time when she felt need ed.

If love was red then she was (Ab)co lour blind.

All her friends they’ve been tried for trea son,

and (Gm)crimes that were nev er de fined.

She’s say ing, “Love is like a bar ren place and reach ing out for hu man faith is, is like a jour ney I just (Ab)don’t have a map for.” So ba by’s gon na take a dive and push the shift to o ver drive, send a sig nal that she’s (Ab)hang ing all her hopes on the stars.

She’s say ing I would fly to the (Ab)moon and back if you’ll be,

if you’ll be my ba by.

Got a tick et for a (Ab)world where we be (Bb)long.

So would you be my ba by?

I would fly to the (Ab)moon and back if you’ll be,

if you’ll be my ba by.

Got a tick et for a (Ab)world where we be long.

So would you be my ba by?
