only drums 
I fold a piece of paper 
And I put it in my pocket 
Cause I?m about to board 
The world?s first rocket 
    C            G 
And I need to remember 
      Em      F 
Where I came from 
       
           C               Am 
And I leave it for as long as I can 
   C                               Am 
Until it falls and breaks and it crumbles like sand 

C Am C Am 

And we all go like 
C             Am           G      Gsus4 G 
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la laaaaaa 
C             Am           G      Gsus4 G 
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la laaaaaa 

C                     G 
Ten nine eight seven six five four three 
Em                        F 
Two one: the rocket ship went off like a gun 
C                    G           Em 
It was nice knowing you my good friend 
                            F 
But I might never ever ever ever see you again 

C G Em F 

And we all go like 
C             Am           G      Gsus4 G 
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la laaaaaa 
C             Am           G      Gsus4 G 
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la laaaaaa 
C             Am           G      Gsus4 G 
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la laaaaaa 
C             Am           G      Gsus4 G 
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la laaaaaa 


Well they?ll look to me down to the ground 
                                  C   G   Em   F 
And maybe one day well I?ll be found 
             C                      G 
Well, we?ll sing it loud and we?ll yell it proud 
       Em                 F 
And maybe one day we will all be found 

        C             Am           G      Gsus4 G 
Singing ooh la la la, ooh la la la laaaaaa 
C             Am           G      Gsus4 G 
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la laaaaaa 
C             Am           G      Gsus4 G 
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la laaaaaa 
C             Am           G      Gsus4 G 
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la laaaaaa 
C             Am           G      Gsus4 G 
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la laaaaaa
