"Hitchhikin'"

(capo 3)

( A5C D / / A5 CD / )

/: A5 - / F (G) :/

I stand by the window -- look out of the starship
I see my reflection, and the empty void
Once I had my own place, now there's only the highway
It's kind of a bummer when your home's destroyed

	/ A5 - / G D / A5 G / D~ - /

	When you stuck your thumb out, you were trying to save me
	I must be dreaming -- you must be crazy
	But I'm awake and this is real and I don't know where we're going
	Do you know where we're going?

		/: A5 D A5~ - / - G D~ - :/

		Oh, with all I've been through
		What kind of cosmic joke could contain this pain inside?
		What have we got ourselves into?
		Hitchhikers trying to hitch a ride
		Hitchhikin' the galaxy, wishing we had a guide

You pull out this gadget -- it's some kind of tablet
It says "Don't Panic" in large, friendly letters
You say it's a guidebook, but how can it guide me?
Do you think it can tell me how to make this better?

	Earth's "mostly harmless" -- I think that's bad press
	I've lost my planet!  Should I feel sadness?
	There's no way I can go home and I don't know how to feel here
	Don't know how to feel here

		Oh, with all I've been through...

This ship will take us, just not the whole distance
We've just been ejected from the cargo hold
Someone else will find us?  I don't think that's likely
Unlikely as a starship with a heart of gold

	And we'll find a planet where planets are hacked up
	They made the Earth there -- did they make a backup?
	And they say they know the answer but they don't know the question --
	I think I might know the question

		Oh, with all I've been through...
