Way out in space to - gether, conquerors of the skies!

G Em Am7 D7
We'd take the path to Jupiter, and maybe very soon,
G Em Am7 D7
We'd cruise along the Milky Way, and land upon the Moon,
G Em Am7 D C D
To a wonderland of stardust, we'd zoom our way to Mars!

But, though I'm not a spaceman, famous and re - nowned,
G Em Am7 D7
I'm just a guy that's down to earth, with both feet on the ground,
G Em Am7 D C D
It's all imagi - nation, I'll never reach the stars!

G Em
My heart is still a fireball, a fireball,
C D7 G D7
Every time I gaze in - to your starry eyes,
G Em C D7 G D7
Fireball, fireball, every time I gaze in - to your starry eyes,
(Suggestion for coda)
G Em C D7 G C/G G
Fireball, fireball, every time I gaze in - to your starry eyes---!
