verse:
F#m
        We're leaving together,
                         Bm
        But still it's farewell
F#m        
        And maybe we'll come back,
F#m        G#/E           A
        To earth, who can tell?
D                        E
        I guess there is no one to blame
A             G#/E    F#m      E        D
        We're leaving ground   (leaving ground)
                         C#                 E E E E  E
        Will things ever be the same again?
               

               F#m        D      Bm      E
It's the final countdown...
               F#m        D      Bm      E
     the final countdown...               Ohhh,


F#m
        we're heading for Venus 
F#m                   Bm
        and still we stand tall
F#m        
        Cause maybe they've seen us 
F#m         G#/E       A
        and welcome us all
D                    E
        With so many light years to go 
A           G#/E         F#m     E     D
        and things to be found  (to be found)
                            C#m              E E E E  E
        I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.


               F#m        D      Bm      E
It's the final countdown...

               F#m        D      Bm      E
