    G    - D - G (2x)

 

   G                                                - C

1.    I’m a track star, gotta run far,       and I’m ready to go,

             D                                C                              G

    it’s a long long road and I gotta make it on my own.

G                                              - C

    Everybody’s gaining on me,       tryin’ to slow me down,

              D                                     C                            G

    but if I’m gonna make it, gotta fight, fight, fight all day,

 

    all night and day, all right.

 

             G

Going home, going home,

                                                                 D             G

going home, I’m gonna make it, gonna make it all right.

            G

Going home, going home,

                                                 D              G

going home, if it takes me the rest of my life.

 

    G                                                             - C

2.    I’m a space man from a different land,       I gotta get back home,

                     D                                C                                 G

    I’ve been gone so long that I’m feeling like a useless man.

G                                            - C

    Everybody’s lookin’ at me,        tryin’ to help me down,

                D                                  C                                  G

    I gotta fight, fight, fight even though it takes another day,

 

    and night and day …

 

    Am            - Bm                - C                     D

+      Oh my,         why, why,        is it either win or lose,

Am                - Bm                        D                          D7

    somehow,          someday, I’ll never ever have to go away.
