EF#mEG#mF#mEBA When I was young I told my mum gonna walk on the moon someday
EF#mEG#mF#mEBA Armstrong and Aldrin spoke to me through Houston and Cape Kennedy
C#mAEAE (arp.) and I watched the Eagle landing on a night when the moon was full
AG#mAEB and as it tugged at the tides I knew that deep inside I too could feel
A $ its pull
EF#mEG#mF#mE x2
EF#mEG#mF#mEBA I lie in my bed and dreamed I walked on the sea of tranquillity
EF#mEG#mF#mEB I knew that someday soon we'd all sail to the moon on the high tide of A technology
C#mAEAE (arp.) but the dreams had all been taken and the window seats taken too
AG#mAEB and two thousand & one has almost come and gone what am I supposed to do?
[chorus]: AEAEA now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get E to the moon AEAEB now that the space race is over and I can't help but feel that we've all A $ grown up too soon
EF#mEG#mF#mE x2
C#mAEAE now my dreams have all been shattered and my wings are tattered too
AG#mAEB and I can still fly but not half as high as once I wanted to
AEAEA now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get E to the moon AEAEB now that the space race is over and I can't help but think that we've all A $ grown up too soon
EF#mEG#mF#mE x2
EF#mEG#mF#mEBA my son and I stand beneath the great night sky and we gaze up in wonder
EF#mEG#mF#mEBA I tell him the tale of apollo and he says yeah but why did they ever go?
C#mAEA It may look like some empty gesture to go all that was just to come E (arp.) back
AG#mAEB but don't offer me a place out in cyber space coz where in the hell's that at?
AEAEA now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get E out of my room AEAEB now that the space race is over and I can't help but think that we're all A just going nowhere
