E     F#m  E   G#m F#m E          B         A


E     F#m  E       G#m F#m E     B                  A
When I was young I told my mum    gonna walk on the moon someday


E        F#m  E      G#m  F#m E     B                          A
Armstrong and Aldrin spoke to me     through Houston and Cape Kennedy


       C#m         A     E            A                        E
and I watched the Eagle landing  on a night when the moon was full


           A            G#m                A     E       B
and as it tugged at the tide  I knew that deep inside I too could feel

    A
its pull



   E   F#m  E          G#m F#m E       B                    A
I lie in my bed and dreamed I walked     on the sea of tranquillity

  E   F#m  E       G#m F#m E       B                 A
I knew that someday soon we'd all   sail to the moon  on the high tide of
                                                              technology

        C#m       A         E            A                   E
but my dreams had all been taken and the window seats taken too

         A        G#m              A       E           B
but two thousand & one has almost come and gone what am I supposed to do?



[chorus]
               A            E        A            E             A
now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get
        E
to the moon
               A             E         A              E               B
now that the space race is over and I can't help but think that we've all
              A
grown up too soon



E   F#m    E   G#m  F#m  E


        C#m        A          E               A                 E
now my dreams have all been shattered and my wings are tattered too

       A        G#m           A     E        B
and I can still fly but not half as high as once I wanted to


               A            E        A            E             A
now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get
        E
to the moon
               A             E         A              E               B
now that the space race is over and I can't help but think that we've all
              A
grown up too soon


   E   F#m     E                G#m  F#m   E   B                   A
my son and I stand beneath the great night sky  and we gaze up in wonder

E   F#m  E       G#m F#m E                B                       A
I tell him the tale of apollo  and he says yeah but why did they ever go?

          C#m       A          E            A
It might look like some empty gesture to go all that was just to come
    E
back

          A          G#m          A       E         B
but don't offer me a place out in cyber space  coz where in  the hell is
                                                                   that



               A            E        A            E             A
now that the space race is over its been and its gone and I'll never get
           E
out of my room
               A             E         A              E               B
now that the space race is over and I can't help but think that we're all
              A
just going nowhere
