[Verse 1]
A F#m On summer nights the stars fall a little slower and D E7 I don't if I can catch them in time to sew words A F#m Delicately to the palm of my hand, tell me D E7 What am I worth? A F#m Do you see words written in the air D E7 Or is it just me forming pictures from nowhere A F#m I have funny little comic books taped to my hands D E7 And a brain within a brain, it's got a mind of it's own, yeah
[Interlude]
A F#m D E7
[Chorus]
A F#m Rocket ships will take off whether you're in them or not D E7 And it's sad but it's the truth, the world would still turn without you A F#m But when your bones turn to earth and you ask me "What was I worth?" D E7 N.C. I'll simply plant a flower above you, and you can watch it grow A F#m D E7 You can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow [x2]
[Interlude]
A F#m D E7
[Verse 2]
A F#m On summer nights my thoughts form a little vaguer and D E7 I don't know how to arrange them or put them into words A F#m Now I'm leaving bashful teardrops in my hands D E7 Please tell me I'm a man A F#m Do you think aliens in outer space D E7 Think that they're the only human race A F#m My mind's a house of magic cards about to blow away, yeah D E7 I'm just a shoot and I'm not ready to grow yet
[Bridge]
A Would it be okay for me to stay F#m If okay is here then I'm far away D And the train's not leaving for a while E7 I packed by bags but they've emptied themselves somehow A The thought of meaning something just makes my brain F#m Twist, invert, and fall down sideways D But my voice is a spark so let me sing
N.C.
'til the fire's so bright it's deafening
