Cavetown - Rocket ships

^GOn summer nights the stars fall a little slower and ^EmI don't know if I can catch them in time ^Cadd9To sew words delicately to the palm of my hand, tell me ^Dsus4What am I worth? ^GDo you see words written in the air? ^EmOr is it just me forming pictures from nowhere? ^Cadd9I have funny little comic books taped to my hands and ^Dsus4A brain within a brain it's got a mind of it's own, yeah.

^GRocket ships will take off ^EmWhether you're in them or not ^Cadd9And it's sad, but it's the truth ^Dsus4The world would still turn without you ^GAnd when your bones turn to earth ^EmAnd you ask me, "What was I worth?" ^Cadd9I'll simply plant a flower above you ^Dsus4And you can watch it grow^{G Em}

^Cadd9And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it^Dsus4 grow. [Verse] ^GOn summer nights my thoughts form a little vauger and ^EmI don't know how to arrange them or put them into words ^Cadd9Now I'm leaving bashful teardrops in my hands ^Dsus4So tell me I ain't a man ^GDo you think aliens in outer space ^EmThink that they're the only human race? ^Cadd9My mind's a house of magic cards about to blow away, yeah ^Dsus4I'm just-a-shootin' I'm not ready to grow yet

^GRocket ships will take off ^EmWhether you're in them or not ^Cadd9And it's sad, but it's the truth ^Dsus4The world would still turn without you ^GAnd when your bones turn to earth ^EmAnd you ask me, "What was I worth?" ^Cadd9I'll simply plant a flower above you ^Dsus4And you can watch it grow ^{G Em}

^Cadd9And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it^Dsus4 grow [Bridge] ^GWould it be okay for me to stay? ^EmIf okay is here, then I'm far away... ^Cadd9And the train's not leaving for a while ^Dsus4I packed my bags but they emptied themselves somehow ^GThe thought of meaning something just makes my brain ^EmTwist and turn and fall down sideways ^Cadd9But my voice is a spark, so let me sing ^Dsus4'Till the fire's so bright, it's deafening

^GRocket ships will take off ^EmWhether you're in them or not ^Cadd9And it's sad, but it's the truth ^Dsus4The world would still turn without you ^GAnd when your bones turn to earth ^EmAnd you ask me, "What was I worth?" ^Cadd9I'll simply plant a flower above you ^Dsus4And you can watch it grow ^{G Em}

^Cadd9And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it^Dsus4 grow.
