Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]On summer ni[G]ghts the
stars fall a little slower,
[C]I don't know if I can c[G]atch them in time
So words delicately to the
palm of my hand tell me
[C]What am [G]I worth?
Do you see words written in the air?
Or is it just me forming
pictures from nowhere?
I have [Em]funny little [G]comic books
taped to my hands
And a [C]brain within a brain has [G]got a mind of its own,
[A]yeah[G][A][G]
Rocket ships will take off
Whether you're in them or not
[Em]And it's sad, but it's the truth
[C]The world will [G]still turn without you
But when your bones turn to earth
And you ask me what was I worth
[Em]I'll simply plant a flower above [C]you
[G]An d you can watch it [Em]grow
You can watch it [C]grow, you can watch it grow,
you can watch [Dsus4]it grow[D][G][Em]
You watch it [C]grow, you can watch it grow,
you can watch [D]it [Dsus4]grow[D]
[Em]I somberize,
my [G]thoughts form a little bigger and
[C]I don't know how to a[G]rrange
them or put them into words
Now I'm leaving bashful
teardrops in my hands
[C]They tell me I'm [G]a m[D]an
[C]Do you think ali[G]ens in outer space
[C]Think that they're the only hu[G]man race
My [C]mind's a house of magic,
heart's about
[G]to blow away, yeah I'm[C] just a shoot and I'm[G]
not ready to grow [A]yet[G][A][D][G]
Rocket ships will take [D]off,
[G]whether you're in them or not[C]
[G]And it's [C]sad but [G]it's the truth,
the world will still turn without you
When your bones turn to earth,
[Em]and you ask me what was I worth
[C]I'll simply plant a flower above you,
[D]and you can watch it gro[G]w[Em]
You can watch it [C]grow, you can watch it grow,
you can watch [Dsus4]it grow[D][G][Em]
You can watch it [C]grow, you can watch it grow,
you can watch [D]it [Dsus4]grow[D][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C][G][C]
Would it be okay for me to stay?
[G]If okay is here, then I'm far away
And the train's [D]not leaving for [G]a while
I packed my bags but they've
emptied themselves [D]somehow
[C]The thought of meeting something
just makes my brain
[G]Twist and vert and fall down sideways
But my voice is a spark so let me sing
Until the fire is so bright, it's
Daphne
Rocket ships will take off
Whether you're in them [C]or not
[G]And it's [Em]sad but i[C]t's [G]the truth
The world will still turn without you
And when your bones turn to earth
[Em]And you ask me what was I worth
[C]I'll simply plant a flower above [D]you
And you can watch it [G]grow[Em]
You can watch it [C]grow, you can watch it grow,
you can watch [D]it [G]grow[Em]
You can watch it [C]grow, you can watch it grow,
you can watch [D]it [C]grow
You
