She packed my bags last night, preflight

And I'm gonna be high
                F#
As a kite by then

G#                             C#
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife

And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
                                        B
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
                                   E
I'm not the man they think I am at home
          D#

Burnin' out this fuse

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 man
Rocket Man


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


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

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