  			Intro C 

 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 

       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 

          C 
All our lives 
                 Em 
The system all decides 
                   F 
The institution's old 
 Fm   Em        G 
But still in control 

 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 

Solo C  Em  F  Fm  Em  G
