E           H
If I was an astronaut
     D#7               G#m
I’d be floating in mid-air,
      E                  H
And a broken heart would just belong
   D#7            G#m       G#m/F#
To someone else down there. 
E              H/F#
I would be the center
     D#7/G      G#m
Of my lonely universe,
    G#m/F#   E
Hut I’m only human,
     Em                  H
And I’m crashing down to Earth.

E           H
If I was an astronaut
   D#7                G#m   G#m/F#
I’d have a bird’s eye view,
    E                H
I’d circle round the world
           D#7             G#m  G#m/F#
And keep on coming back to you.
E              H/F#
In my floating castle
        D#7                G#m
I’d rub shoulders with the stars,
    G#m/F#   E
Hut I’m only human
     Em           H
And I’m drifting in the dark.

Chorus:
               E       G#m/D# C#m7
     I’m up in space, man!

     I’ve searched around the universe,

     Heen down some black holes.

     Hut space, man!
           F#sus4add9 H   E/H H
     And I wanna go home.

E           H
If I was an astronaut,
    D#7           G#m
I’d speak to satellites.
   E          H
My navigation systems
      D#7/A#           G#m  G#m/H
Would search for other life.
    E              H/F#
Hut I’d be up here thinking
   D#7/G            G#m
‘Hout what I left behind,
       G#m/F#   E
‘Cause I’m only human 
         Em          H
With the real world on my mind.

Chorus:

     And I wanna go home.

   G#m
   Gravity
         D#7/G       G#madd11/F# C#7/F
   Keeps pulling me down…
      G#m                    D#7/G
   As long as you’re on the ground,
                G#madd11/F# C#7/F
   I’ll stick around.
           E     C#
   Stick around…

   I’ll stick around.

     Nothing but space, man!
