[Verse 1]
N.C.
You said you wanted some space
N.C.
Well is this enough for you?
N.C.
This is what you've waited for
N.C.
No dust collecting in the corners
N.C.
No cups of tea that got
cold before you drank them
N.C.
Tonight
N.C.
Travelling at the speed of thought
N.C.
We're going to escape
into the stars
N.C.
It doesn't matter if the
lifts are out of order
N.C.
Or the car won't start
N.C.
We're rising up
N.C.
Above the city
N.C.
Over forests
N.C.
Over fields
N.C.
Rivers and lakes
N.C.
Into the clouds
N.C.
And up above us
N.C.
The whole universe
is shining a welcome

[Verse 2]
N.C.
Did you ever really think
this day would happen
N.C.
After days trying to sell
washing-machines on your own?
N.C.
It looked like we never
left the ground
N.C.
But we're weightless
N.C.
Floating free
N.C.
We can go wherever we want
N.C.
Solar systems
N.C.
Constellations
N.C.
Galaxies
I'll race you to the nearest planet

[Verse 3]
N.C.
How many times have you
wished upon a star?
N.C.
Now you can touch it
N.C.
You can touch the stars
N.C.
Go on
Don't be afraid
 N.C.
"I only wanted some space"
N.C.
Well is this enough for you?
N.C.
Is it?

[Verse 4]
N.C.
Well the stars are bright
N.C.
But they don't give out any heat
N.C.
The planets
N.C.
Are lumps of rock
N.C.
Floating in a vacuum
N.C.
Yeah, space is cold
N.C.
When you're on your own

[Verse 5]
N.C.                          A5
I think it's time to go home
A5
Pulling my strings
A5
Like a kite that flew too high
A5
And now it's time to come down
A5
Look out below
A5
Wait 'til I get back
A5
You can see something
A5
You can see space
A5
But now I know
A5
It's O.K.
A5
Space is O.K
A5
But I'd rather
A5
I'd rather get my
A5
I'd rather get my kicks down below
A5
Oh, yeah
A5
Come on

E    Am    F    Am
G    Am    A    Am

A       F        G        A
A       F        G        A

A       F        G        A

How to play Space: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Space by Pulp on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Space by Pulp keeps coming home to F major (one flat: B♭). You need 6 chords: A5, E, Am, F, G and A.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A – F – G – A (III – I – II – III in F major). In solfa, that is mi – doh – reh – mi. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
