          C 
I put my spacesuit on, count back ten to one 
The gravitation pull gets stronger 
My skin it pulls away, my brains are on a plate 
The weightless feeling here is bliss 
 
 
CHORUS: 
            C/Bb                C/A           C/G 
This is the best thing that has ever happened to me 
              C/Bb              C/A           C/G 
These are the colours that I've always wanted to see 
      G              Bb 
And although I never said it before 
  C 
I love you, I need you, I need it, I love you

          C 
Now I'm embracing you from the highest altitudes 
Through telescopes, our friends they watch us 
These heights are dangerous, from here I can see why 
                      C/Bb  C/A  C/G  C/F 
Our astronauts retire early 
 
 
            C 
This is the best thing that has ever happened to me 
              C 
These are the colours that I've always wanted to see 
      G              Bb 
And although I never said it before 
  C 
I love you, I need you, I need it, I love you
