[Verse]
G
On summer nights the stars fall a little slower and 

Em
I don't know if I can catch them in time

Cadd9
To sew words delicately to the palm of my hand, tell me

Dsus4
What am I worth?

G
Do you see words written in the air? 

Em
Or is it just me forming pictures from nowhere?

Cadd9
I have funny little comic books taped to my hands and

Dsus4
A brain within a brain it's got a mind of it's own, yeah.
[Interlude] G Em Cadd9 Dsus4 [Chorus]
G
Rocket ships will take off

Em
Whether you're in them or not

Cadd9
And it's sad, but it's the truth

Dsus4
The world would still turn without you

G
And when your bones turn to earth

Em
And you ask me, "What was I worth?"

Cadd9
I'll simply plant a flower above you

Dsus4                    G Em
And you can watch it grow

Cadd9                                                             Dsus4    G     Em
And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow.

Cadd9                                                             Dsus4 
And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow.
[Verse]
G
On summer nights my thoughts form a little vauger and

Em
I don't know how to arrange them or put them into words

Cadd9
Now I'm leaving bashful teardrops in my hands

Dsus4
So tell me I am a man

G
Do you think aliens in outer space

Em
Think that they're the only human race?

Cadd9
My mind's a house of magic cards about to blow away, yeah

Dsus4
I'm just a shoot and I'm not ready to grow yet
[Interlude] G Em Cadd9 Dsus4 [Chorus]
G
Rocket ships will take off

Em
Whether you're in them or not

Cadd9
And it's sad, but it's the truth

Dsus4
The world would still turn without you

G
And when your bones turn to earth

Em
And you ask me, "What was I worth?"

Cadd9
I'll simply plant a flower above you

Dsus4                     G Em
And you can watch it grow

Cadd9                                                             Dsus4     G     Em
And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow.

Cadd9                                                             Dsus4 
And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow.
[Bridge]
G
Would it be okay for me to stay?

Em
If okay is here, then I'm far away...

Cadd9
And the train's not leaving for a while

Dsus4
I packed my bags but they emptied themselves somehow

G
The thought of meaning something just makes my brain

Em
Twist, invert, and fall down sideways 

Cadd9
But my voice is a spark, so let me sing

Dsus4
'Till the fire's so bright, it's deafening
[Chorus]
G
Rocket ships will take off

Em
Whether you're in them or not

Cadd9
And it's sad, but it's the truth

Dsus4
The world would still turn without you

G
And when your bones turn to earth

Em
And you ask me, "What was I worth?"

Cadd9
I'll simply plant a flower above you

Dsus4                     G Em
And you can watch it grow

Cadd9                                                             Dsus4     G     Em
And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow.

Cadd9                                                             Dsus4      G
And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow.
