F#            A#m
Call back the cap-com
G#                    F#
Tick off the time-bomb
      D#m     G#
Let felicity fly
F#         A#m
Armour the airlock
G#                  D#m
Blanket the bedrock
              F#         G#
And kiss the planet goodbye

Chorus:
D#m              A#m
Dear God, I was terribly lost
         C#
When the galaxies crossed
        G#            D#m
And the Sun went dark
                     A#m
Dear God, You're the only North Star
        C#            G#
I would follow this far

Fight back the flight deck,
bring on the breakneck
Cue the solar eclipse
(Sun went dark)
Summit the sunset, dovetail the dragnet
And blow your backbone to bits
(Through the galaxies)

Chorus:
Dear God, I was terribly lost
When the galaxies
crossed and the sun went dark
(Sun went dark)
But dear God, you're the only North Star
I would follow this far

   F#                 G#        A#m
Oh telescope, keep an eye on my only hope
F#                  G#            A#m
Lest I blink and be swept off the narrow road
F#                   G#          A#m
Hercules, you've got nothing to say to me
      F#             C#       G#           A#m
Cause you're not the blinding light that I need
    F#        C#     G#
For He is the saving grace of the galaxies
 C#        C#/F      A#m       F#
(Galaxies, galaxies, galaxies, galaxies)
C#        C#/F   F#            G#
He is the Saving grace of the galaxies

Chorus:
Dear God, I was terribly lost
When the galaxies
crossed and the sun went dark (Sun went dark)
But dear God, you're the only North Star
I would follow this far
