Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Difficulty: Novice 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 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 ain't 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-shootin' 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 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 and turn 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 And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow.
