Up Up And Away

Posted on April 1, 2012 by admin

Chords and lyrics for Up Up And Away by Lights

VERSE: 

We had a rocket

That fell out of orbit

We couldn’t stop it

We couldn’t control it

We ran a good course

It was a good flight

But I felt the hard force

Holding me too tight

 

CHORUS: 

We are rockets in the sky

We are planets passing by

Up up and away

Forget me

Go your own way

Sometimes a heart cools

After the ship goes

And sometimes the mind fools

Only the body knows

 

CHORUS 

 

INTERLUDE: 

G D G D G Em G D Am D (not positive about that part)

 

CHORUS (x2) 

 

ENDING 

Em D G x2 (end on G)
