Lyrics
C   CM9/E  Am   CM9/E    C

C                      CM9/E  Am

I’d like to take you to a land

Far beyond the reach of

F          G

Any mode of transportation

F                G

Come with me on a mind vacation

C                       CM9/E  Am

It’s not a place that you can see

It’s a place where we can

F          G

Be together side by side

F             G

Come along and take the ride

C   CM9/E   Am

To the Edge of the Universe

F                     G

That’s where we’ll set sail

C       CM9/E    Am

Away the anchors, full ahead

F         G       C   CM9/E  Am  F  G  C  CM9/E  Am  F  G

Across the starlit trail

C   CM9/E  Am   CM9/E    C

Turn the hourglass around

So the sand cannot be

Counted, slowing time completely

Wrap it with a bow so neatly

I’ll put your photo in my book

So when I want to I can

Think of all the time we’d share

If only you would climb the stairs

To the Edge of the Universe

That’s where we’ll set sail

Away the anchors, full ahead

Across the starlit trail

C  CM9/E  Am  F  G  C  CM9/E  Am  F  G

I can see that you’re afraid

To carry out the plans we

Made before we separated

Holding you when we first dated

If i could have but one desire

I’d like to set the world on

Fire destroying all existence

Watch it from a far off distance

At the Edge of the Universe

That’s where we’ll set sail

Away the anchors, full ahead

Across the starlit trail

C  CM9/E  Am  F  G  C  CM9/E  Am  F  G
