G#                       Cm       A#
She's taking time making up the reasons
Gm                 G#
To justify all the hurt inside
           Cm                            A#
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look
in their eyes
     Gm                           G#
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
                 Cm
They're saying, "Mama never loved her much"
      A#
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch
Gm                             G#
That's why she shies away from human affection"
    Cm
But somewhere in a private place
    A#
She packs her bags for outer space
Gm                            G#
And now she's waiting for the right
kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him She's sayin

Chorus:
Cm                 G#                   A#
I would fly to the moon and back if you be...
       Gm
If you be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we, we belong
So would you be my baby?

She can't remember a time
When she felt needed
If love was red, then she was color blind
All her friends, they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith is
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for."
So, baby's gonna take a dive
And push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
all her hopes on the stars
(What a pleasant dream)
She's saying

Chorus

Hold on, hold on

"Mama never loved her much and
Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection."
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right
kind of pilot to come
(And she'll say to him)
Just saying

Chorus

I would fly you to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world
Where we belong
So would you be my baby? Yeah
