[Verse 1]
Rev your [Bb]engines
Cross your [Gm]hearts
We're sailing off to [Eb]mars
We're [F]the travelers from afar
[Bb]

[Verse 2]
Pass cast aways on ship wrecks [Gm]stars
Dark in empty [Eb]bars
We're [F]light years on this [Bb]cruise
[Bbsus4]You wait h[Bb]alf your life
for a brand new [Gm]start
You learned your lines,
you end your [Eb]part
You're all battered [F]up and bruised
[Bb]

[Verse 3]
[Eb]You always had a[Edim] roman[Bb]
[Gm]candle for a [Eb]heart
Now you [Edim]gotta firm g[Bb]rip on
[Gm]things for [Eb]a start
I sup[Edim]pose that's a par[Bb]t of gro[Gm]wing old[Eb]
Oh [F]oh growing old
[Bb]

Ba da ba [Gm]ba ba b[Eb]a baa[F]

Oooh
[F]You [Bb]alwa[Eb]ys had a[Edim]
[Bb]roman [Gm]candle for a [Eb]heart

Oh [F]oh growing old

[Verse 6]
[C]You rickashayed then you
ma[Am]rooned (?)
A spaceship on the [F]moon
You left [G]town with a sonic [C]boom
But gravity pulled you back [Am]home
Down to earth and all [F]alone
You cast [G]victory over stone[C]s
Soon you mellowed soon you [Am]broke
With a softer voice you [F]spoke:
[G]Progress beyond reproach
[C]

[Verse 7]
[F]You always had a rom[C]an
[Am]candle for a [F]heart
Now you gotta firm [C]grip
on [Am]things for [F]a start
I suppose that's a
[C]part of [Am]growing [F]old
Oh [G]oh growing old

[Verse 8]
[F]You always had a rom[C]an
[Am]candle for a heart[F]
Now you gotta firm [Am]grip
[C]on [Am]things for [F]a start
I suppose that's a
[C]part of [Am]growing [F]old
Oh [G]oh [C]grow[F][G][C][F]
