I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
Cm
G#
Bb
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
Eb G
So would you be my baby?
She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was color blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place, and reaching out for human faith is,Is like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream Just saying
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
Guitar solo...
Mamma never loved her much and Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place she packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him Just saying
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby ... yeah
