E                                                B
What you ever say today when you're in the Milky Way
            A      C                    A
Oh, tell me please   just to give you a squeeze
     Dm         F        A
If I met you, I told you what to do
F       A           F       C         F       A - B    A - F# - B
Seems a while since I could smile the way you do

E                                                           B
How many times if I try, if I may, when you're in the Milky Way
             A              E
Half of your time beside me only
     Dm                   F                   A
Atmosphere - the singular raised by heats and wet
D       G           A       F#        A       B      A - F# - B
Seems a while since I could smile the way you do...  Oh...

E                                                 B
What can anyone mean to you standing in the Milky Way
          A               E
Take life easy, I mean so easy
       Dm          F               A      
Why so empty...? I told you, I can tell you what to do
       F        D       G           A
When I hold you   and I tell you "I love you"
  F#            A       B     A - F# - B
I feel that I'm way you do...

E                                                   B
Give a grasp of life today when you're in the Milky Way
           A                            E
Oh, try to please! knock on wood of the trees
        Dm         F             A
Glad to mould you, mould you and hold you
F          D         G     A   F#       A - B  A - B  B7
Means five miles and every way for you...
