E            A             E
And she was lying in the grass
E              A                  E
And she could hear the highway breathing
E              A            E
And she could see a nearby factory
E             A                E
She's making sure she is not dreaming
A#       F             C          F
See the lights of the neighbor's house
A#          C          F
Now she's starting to rise
A#      F         C      F
Take a minute to concentrate and she
A#    G       C
Opens up her eyes

Chorus:
E              A             D             A
The world was moving, she was right there with
            E   A   D   A
it and she was
E              A            D          A
The world was moving she was floating above
            E A D A
it and she was
         E A E A E
And she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe
And she's drifting this way and that
Not touching the ground at all
And she's up above the yard

Chorus:
The world was moving,
and she was right there with it
And she was
Hey, hey
The world was moving, she was floating above it
And she was
Hey, hey, hey

           Bm
And she was glad about it, no doubt about it
G
She isn't sure 'bout what she's done
Bm
No time to think about what to tell them
G                                              E A E
No time to think about what she's done and she was
                   E A E
Hey, hey, hey-hey-hey

And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions, oh, oh, oh

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey (hey)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Chorus:
The world was moving, she was right there with it
And she was
The world was moving, she was floating above it
And she was

Joining the world of missing persons
And she was (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Missing enough to feel alright
And she was, ha, ha

And she was
And she was
And she was
And she was
And she was, hey, hey
And she was
And she was
And she was
