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 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 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 Outro: Dadd9 Esus4 And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow.
