Cavetown - Rocket ships

^AOn summer nights the stars ^F#mfall a little slower and ^DI don't if I can catch them in ^E7time to sew words ^ADelicately to the ^F#mpalm of my hand, tell me ^DWhat am I worth?^E7

^ADo you see words written ^F#min the air ^DOr is it just me forming ^E7pictures from nowhere I have ^Afunny little comic books ^F#mtaped to my hands And a ^Dbrain within a brain, it's got a ^E7mind of it's own, yeah

^ARocket ships will take off ^F#mwhether you're in them or not ^DAnd it's sad but it's the truth, ^E7the world would still turn without you ^ABut when your bones turn to earth ^F#mand you ask me "What was I worth?" ^DI'll simply plant a flower above ^E7you, ^N.C.and you can watch it grow ^{A F#m} You can watch it ^Dgrow, you can watch it grow, you can watch ^E7it grow [x2]

^AOn summer nights my thoughts ^F#mform a little vaguer and ^DI don't know how to arrange them or ^E7put them into words ^ANow I'm leaving bashful ^F#mteardrops in my hands ^DPlease tell me I'm a man^{E7 A}Do you think aliens in ^F#mouter space ^DThink that they're the only ^E7human race ^AMy mind's a house of magic cards ^F#mabout to blow away, yeah ^DI'm just a shoot and I'm not ^E7ready to grow yet

^AWould it be okay for me to stay ^F#mIf okay is here then I'm far away ^DAnd the train's not leaving for a while ^E7I packed by bags but they've emptied themselves somehow ^AThe thought of meaning something just makes my brain ^F#mTwist, invert, and fall down sideways ^DBut my voice is a spark so let me sing ^N.C.'til the fire's so bright it's deafening
