She packed my bags last night pre-flight
G# C#
Zero hour nine a.m. and I'm gonna be
E(high) D# G# B A# F#(guitar)
h-h-i-i-i-gh as a kite by then

It's lonely out in space on such a
E D# C# B A# F#
t-t-i-i-me-less flight.
[Chorus]

[Verse] (bass)
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket m-a-a-o-o-m-a-a-n, a rocket man
[Chorus]

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
