The planets tune in retrograde

The moon seems to have fled 
E 
The world is spinning upside down 
E7 
And landed on its head

Just one lifetime 
                  E                     E7 
And there's only one, yes there's only one 
          D      F#m 
Just one life to live 
                    E 
Assuming that we'll make it 
                       E7 

We've no choice but to take it 

Bm 
I'm with you, the Walrus said 
F#m 
We'll dress for heavy weather 
E 
Whatever's on the road ahead 
E7 
We're in this now together 

Bm 
We thought we'd make a run for it 
F#m 
Not knowing where we're headed 
E 
We packed the car with both our bags 
E7 
And filled her up unleaded

Bm 
The time had come, a reckoning 
F#m 
We all knew it was coming 
E 
We headed North on empty roads 
E7 
The engine gently humming 

Bm 
The Walrus smoked a cigarette 
F#m 
He claimed it was his last 
E 
No signs of life, no gas, no food 
E7 
In all the empty towns we passed 

Bm 
All we have is me and you 
F#m 
It has to be enough 
E 
I've got your back and you've got mine 
E7 
If the going it gets rough 

Chorus

Just one lifetime

And there's only one, yes there's only one 
          D      F#m 
Just one life to live 
                    E 
Assuming that we'll make it 
                       E7 
We've no choice but to take it
