[Verse 1]
[*Riff]
I wish I was a spaceman, the fastest guy a - live,
[*Riff]
I d fly around the universe in Fireball X - L - 5,
Way out in space to - gether, conquerors of the skies!
| / / /__/ / | /
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
[Chorus]
My heart would be a fireball, a fireball,
[*Riff]
Every time I gazed in - to your starry eyes!
[Verse 2]
[*Riff]
We d take the path to Jupiter, and maybe very soon,
[*Riff]
We d cruise along the Milky Way, and land upon the Moon,
To a wonderland of stardust, we d zoom our way to Mars!
| / / /__/ / | /
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
[Chorus]
My heart would be a fireball, a fireball,
Cause you would be my Venus of the stars!

[Verse 3]
[*Riff]
But, though I m not a spaceman, famous and re - nowned,
[*Riff]
I m just a guy that s down to earth, with both feet on the ground,
It s all imagi - nation, I ll never reach the stars!
| / / /__/ / | /
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
[Chorus]
My heart is still a fireball, a fireball,
[*Riff]
Every time I gaze in - to your starry eyes,
Fireball, fireball,
[*Riff]
Every time I gaze in - to your starry eyes!
[Suggestion for coda]
Fireball, fireball, every time I gaze in - to your starry eyes!
