Verse:
A
On summer nights the stars fall a little slower and 
Gbm
I don't know if I can catch them in time
Dadd9
To sew words delicately to the palm of my hand, tell me
Esus4
What am I worth?
A
Do you see words written in the air? 
Gbm
Or is it just me forming pictures from nowhere?
Dadd9
I have funny little comic books taped to my hands and
Esus4
A brain within a brain it's got a mind of it's own, yeah.
 
Interlude: A Gbm Dadd9 Esus4
 
Chorus:
A
Rocket ships will take off
Gbm
Whether you're in them or not
Dadd9
And it's sad, but it's the truth
Esus4
The world would still turn without you
A
And when your bones turn to earth
Gbm
And you ask me, "What was I worth?"
Dadd9
I'll simply plant a flower above you
Esus4                    A Gbm
And you can watch it grow
 

Dadd9                                                             Esus4
And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow.
 
Verse:
A
On summer nights my thoughts form a little vauger and
Gbm
I don't know how to arrange them or put them into words
Dadd9
Now I'm leaving bashful teardrops in my hands
Esus4
So tell me I am a man
A
Do you think aliens in outer space
Gbm
Think that they're the only human race?
Dadd9
My mind's a house of magic cards about to blow away, yeah
Esus4
I'm just a shoot and I'm not ready to grow yet
 
Interlude: A Gbm Dadd9 Esus4
 
Chorus:
A
Rocket ships will take off
Gbm
Whether you're in them or not

And when your bones turn to earth
Gbm
And you ask me, "What was I worth?"
Dadd9
I'll simply plant a flower above you
Esus4                     A Gbm
And you can watch it grow
 

Dadd9                                                             Esus4
And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow
 
Bridge:
A
Would it be okay for me to stay?
Gbm
If okay is here, then I'm far away...
Dadd9
And the train's not leaving for a while
Esus4
I packed my bags but they emptied themselves somehow
A
The thought of meaning something just makes my brain
Gbm
Twist, invert, and fall down sideways 
Dadd9
But my voice is a spark, so let me sing
Esus4
'Till the fire's so bright, it's deafening
 
Chorus:
A
Rocket ships will take off
Gbm
Whether you're in them or not
Dadd9
And it's sad, but it's the truth
Esus4
The world would still turn without you
A
And when your bones turn to earth
Gbm
And you ask me, "What was I worth?"
Dadd9
I'll simply plant a flower above you
Esus4                     A Gbm
And you can watch it grow

And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow.
