t-t-i-i-me-less flight
[Chorus]
B                                      E 
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 

                                         B 
Till touch down brings me round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no 

       C#
I am a rocket man 

E                               B       E B E B E 
Rocket man burning out my fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids

In fact, it's cold as hell 

     E             B/D#    C#        B           F#
And there's no one there to raise them if you did 

G#                               C#
And all this science I don't understand 

G#                           C#
It's just my job five days a week
