Intro:

C   C    C    C

Verse:
 C
He went off
                Em
Like a rocket touched
               F
Way up in the sky
 Fm         Em
Beyond the bars
     G
In our minds
 C
Just took off
              Em
Rocket to the sun
                      F
Blast his way through here
 Fm            Em
Beyond the world
         G
In our eyes

Verse:
       C
We grow up
                   Em
If we can join the dots
                     F
That got us here to there
 Fm           Em
Beyond our dreams
            G
In the spheres
     C
We go off
                Em
Like little fireworks
                 F
Exploding in the streets
 Fm           Em
And crumpled sheets
          G
Where we lie

Verse:
          C
All our lives
                 Em
The system all decides

The institution's old
 Fm   Em        G
But still in control

Bridge:
 C
Nothing in the chambers
 Em
Worth nothing at all
 F
All the wealth is hidden
 Fm                         C
Diamonds a-glistening and solid gold
      G
Well, have it all
 Fm       F
It's worthless
