[Intro]
Am G Am G Am
[Verse]
Am C G Am
Now the big ships fly to a hundred suns
Am G Am
By pushing the speed of light
C G Am
And they want good men for the deep space runs
C G Am
Pushing the speed of light
Am Em Am G
And the pay is good, and you're young and strong
Am G Am
And you tell yourself that it won't be long
Am C G Am
So you sign on board, hear the drive's deep song
Am G Am
Pushing the speed of light
C G Am
Pushing the speed of light
Am Em Am G Am
And you've left behind you the world of men
Am C G Am
With no way in space to go home again
Am G Am (Optional F)
When you're pushing the speed of light
Am G Am
Pushing the speed of light
Am C G Am
Now it's two months out and it's two months back
Am G Am
When you're pushing the speed of light
C G Em Am
Twenty years on your homeworld's track
C G Am
Pushing the speed of light
Am Em Am G
And your friends are gone and your lovers too
Am G Am
And there's damn-all left that you can do
Am C G Am
And you try to lie, but you know it's true
Am G Am
Pushing the speed of light
C G Am
Pushing the speed of light
Am C G Am
So you sign back on for another run
Am G Am
Of pushing the speed of light
C G Am
And you swear to God that your pushing's done
Am G Am
Pushing the speed of light
Am Em Am G
But that one run turns into four or five
Am G Am
And your heart beats time to the humming drive
Am C G Am
And there's nothing left keeps you alive
Am G Am
But pushing the speed of light
C G Am
Pushing the speed of light
Am C G Am
Now you've spread your seed with the star drive's flame
Am G Am
By pushing the speed of light
C G Am
Left sons behind you to carry your name
Am G Am
Pushing the speed of light
Am Em Am G
And you watch them age, and you watch them die
Am G Am
As you race the light-wind across the sky
Am C G Am
And the gods are silent when you ask them, Why?
Am G Am
Pushing the speed of light
C G Am
Pushing the speed of light
Am C G Am
Now, the speed of c is a wall, they say
Am G Am
When you're pushing the speed of light
C G Am
That cuts you off from yesterday
Am G Am
Pushing the speed of light
Am Em Am G
But you know someday you're gonna win that race
Am G Am
And fly back the years to your starting space
Am C G Am
And you'll stay awhile 'fore you're back in space
Am G Am
Pushing the speed of light
C G Am
Pushing the speed of light
Am Em Am G Am
And you've left behind you the world of men
C G Am
With no way in Hell to go home again
Am G Am (Optional F)
When you're pushing the speed of light
Am G Am
Pushing the speed of light
[Outro]
