Fm                             Gm
Space monkey in the place to be
Fm                                     Gm G#m
Riding in a rocket to a planet of sound
Fm                                         Gm
Shooting the moon, playing Dominoes in drag
Fm                                            Gm G#m
An increase in population of a hundred percent

Fm                             Gm
Space monkey in the place to be
Fm                                       Gm G#m
With a chemical peel and a picture of Mary
Fm
Out on a limb in the carnival of me
Cm                           B
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees

Chorus:
C#     Cm       Fm
We're sewn together
       D#
She's born to mesmer
C# Cm           Fm
Beside  Astride her
   D#
I die inside her

Space monkey in the place to be
A mass of contradiction in a golden frame
Raising the roof in a calamity way
Completely meretricious of a poke in the eye

Space monkey in the place to be
Talk of the town with a Colombian rock
Out on a limb in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees

Chorus

C#   Cm         Fm
It's far too sacred
      D#
Don't ever fake it
C#   Cm         Fm         D#
And don't, and don't, and don't let me down...

C#
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before

Space monkey in the place to be
With some free-association and a hole in her head
Out on a limb in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees

Chorus

It's far too sacred
Don't ever fake it
And don't, and don't, and don't let me down...

Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
