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.
