C               E/G#
High, there's a reason for my high
           Am7                   E/G#         C
There's a whole world outside, I saw it last night
               E/G#                       Am
Yeah, they're saying I'm insane 'cause I wanna go to space

And leave it all behind, I'm leaving them behind

Chorus:
C       A#                         Fm
I, I've never, ever been this far away from home,
and now I know
G#6                                  C
It gets dark, yeah, it gets dark and I
A#                                   F
I'm moving at the speed of light, I have to go

But now I know, it gets dark so I can see the stars

Yeah, my feet came off the ground
Gravity won't hold me down
No, not this time
I'm not who I used to be
'Cause I came out here to see
The universe inside
I'm leavin' them behind
I'm leavin' them

Chorus

It gets dark so I can see the stars
A#                              F
It gets dark so I can see the stars
G#6                             C
It gets dark so I can see the stars
