Intro: C-G-C-G
C G C G D
I'm heavy like a Sunday night, I'm heavy like a conversation,
F C G
I get dark, I need illumination.
C G C G D
'Cause things have changed and I'm to blame, losing my imagination,
F C G
I packed my bags, made my reservation.
F C G
'Cause gravity just brings me down,
F C G
It's keeping me stuck on the ground,
F C G F
Don't worry darling, I'm taking off soon,
Dm G C G
'Cause everything is lighter on the moon.
C G C G D
And suddenly it dawned on me, I guess I had a revelation,
F C G
To change the channel, try another station.
F C G
'Cause gravity just brings me down,
F C G
It's keeping me here on the ground,
F C G F
Don't worry darling, I'm taking off soon,
Dm G Am G
'Cause everything is lighter on the moon.
F Dm G
I've been watching from my room,
Am G F Dm G
You... and your silver smile, I'll be with you soon,
Am G Dm
'Cause this world never loved me,
Am G Dm G
No this world never loved me like you do.
C G C G D
Now looking back the earth is black, I cant believe how far you drifted,
F C G
I touched down, all my weight was lifted.
F C G
'Cause gravity just brings you down,
F C G
It's keeping you stuck on the ground,
F C G D
Don't worry darling, I'll send for you soon,
F G Am D
'Cause everything is lighter on the moon,
F G C G-C-G-C-G-C
Everything gets lighter on the moon.
