Back

To The Moon And Back Tab

by Savage Garden


Hey guys, this is my first chord work. 
I worked it out by ear and it sounds 
pretty close to the original, but you'll 
have to work out some of the strumming 
for yourselves. Enjoy!

Intro:
        

1st Verse:
()              
 Shes taking her time making up
    
The reasons
                 
 To justify all the hurt inside
          
Guess she knows from the smile
        
And the look in their eyes
     
Everyones got a theory about the

Bitter one; they're saying 

 Mamma never loved her much
    
And daddy never keeps in touch

 Thats why she shies away from

Human affection
   
But somewhere in a private place
   
She packs her bags for outer space
                           
 And now shes waiting for the right

Kind of pilot to come
           (Fill 1)
And she'll say to him

Shes saying

Chorus:
                  
 I would fly to the moon and back if
      
Youll be
              
If youll be my baby
                  
 Got a ticket for a world where we
  
Belong
                     
So would you be my baby

Interlude:
      

2nd Verse:
()                  
 She cant remember a time when she
     
Felt needed
                           
 If love was red then she was colour blind
        
All her friends; they've been tried for
 
Treason
                   
 And crimes that were never defined
            
Shes 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 babys gonna take a dive and

 Push the shift to overdrive
                          
 And send a signal that shes hanging
                         (Fill 1)
All her hopes on the stars

What a pleasant dream

Just saying

Chorus

Solo:
        (repeat as required)



 Mamma never loved her much
    
And daddy never keeps in touch

 Thats why she shies away from

Human affection
   
But somewhere in a private place
   
She packs her bags for outer space
                           
 And now shes waiting for the right

Kind of pilot to come

And shell say to him

Just saying

Chorus twice
