[VERSE:]

Em D G

We had a rocket

Em D G

That fell out of orbit

Em D G

We couldn't stop it

Em D G

We couldn't control it

Em D G

We ran a good course

Em D G

It was a good flight

Em D G

But I felt the hard force

Em D G

Holding me too tight

[CHORUS:]

C G D

We are rockets in the sky

C G D

We are planets passing by

C G D

Up up and away

Forget me

G D

Go your own way

Em D G

Sometimes a heart cools

Em D G

After the ship goes

Em D G

And sometimes the mind fools

Em D G

Only the body knows

[CHORUS]

G D G D G Em G D Am D

[INTERLUDE:] (not positive about that part)
