Where was I when the rockets came to life

Take it in with your breath against the glass

Over every town if you look down

Dip your toes in the galaxy 'cause it's yours to explore tonight

Rollercoaster through the atmosphere

I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid

Rollercoaster through the atmosphere

My imagination's taking me away

Let's hear it for the Universe
G
Where it never hurts

Diving in head-first
A Em G
Take a taste of the melting milky Way

And remember to laugh 'cause you're living in a crazy world
G D
Where you'll never guess what could happen next
A Em G D
Give the outer limits my regards as you float to fly away
CHORUS:
G D A
Where was I when the rockets came to life

And carried you away into the alligator sky

I'm never letting go I'm never letting go

version 2
So, here're the chords I use:
G D A Bm E B C#m
E|--3----5----5----2----0----2----4---|
A|--5----5----7----2----2----2----4---|
D|--5----7----7----4----2----3----6---|
G|--4----7----6----4----1----3----6---|
B|--3----7----5----3----0----3----5---|
e|--3----5----5----2----0----2----4---|
I personally like the feel of bar chords because they make me feel cool. :P But
not everyone has really long fingers like me, so it may not be as easy for you
(not to mention, it makes switching chords bundles harder). Go ahead and play open
chords if you want 'cause honestly, it makes no difference.
You can just play the "regular" (Open) chords like this:
G: 3-2-0-0-3-3-|
D: x-x-0-2-3-2-|
A: x-0-2-2-2-0-|
Yeah, much easier.
ANYWAY... Let's do this thang.
