Cavetown - Rocket Ships: chords

A
On summer nights the stars fall a little
slower and
F#m
I don't know if I can catch them in time
D
To sew words delicately to the palm of my
hand, tell me
E
What am I worth?
A
Do you see words written in the air?
F#m
Or is it just me forming pictures from nowhere?
D
I have funny little comic books taped to
my hands and
E
A brain within a brain it's got a mind of
it's own, yeah.

Chorus:
A
Rocket ships will take off
F#m
Whether you're in them or not
D
And it's sad, but it's the truth
E
The world would still turn without you
A
And when your bones turn to earth
F#m
And you ask me, "What was I worth?"
D
I'll simply plant a flower above you
E                      A F#m
And you can watch it grow

D
And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow,
                   E A F#m
you can watch it grow.
D
And you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow,
                   E
you can watch it grow.

On summer nights my thoughts form
a little vaguer and
I don't know how to arrange them
or put them into words
Now I'm leaving bashful teardrops in my hands
Please tell me I'm a man
Do you think aliens in outer space
Think that they're the only human race
My mind's a house of magic cards about
to blow away, yeah
I'm just a shoot and I'm not ready to grow yet

Chorus

Would it be okay for me to stay
If okay is here then I'm far away
And the train's not leaving for a while
I packed by bags but they've emptied
themselves somehow
The thought of meaning something just
makes my brain
Twist, invert, and fall down sideways
But my voice is a spark so let me sing
'til the fire's so bright it's deafening

Chorus:
Rocket ships will take off whether you're
in them or not
And it's sad but it's the truth,
the world would still turn without you
But when your bones turn to earth and
you ask me 'what was I worth?'
I'll simply plant a flower above you,
and you can watch it grow
You can watch it grow, you can watch it grow,
you can watch it grow
You can watch it grow, you can watch it grow,
you can watch it grow
