Beautiful song to play, noticed there aren't any chords up for it, these seem fairly accurate.
NB I suspend the C and G chords with fret 3 on both High E and B strings, with my pinky
ring/ penultimate finger / whatever you wanna call it ;)but with or without works.
Play open for the real thing, but I sometimes put capo on 7th takes the strain off the

And i've got a mars bar that says
C Em D
That you're never going to write a song as good as the one that's on the

internet.
G
And it doesn't even have a title.
C Em
Are you that uninspired that you couldn't
D G
Think of something more complex?
G C Em
And isn't it ironic that i once wrote a song
D G
That said i never would write anything
G C Em
Introspective again as a means to an end?

Yet all i can seem to do today is write about myself.
G C
And so it's time to change this tact
Em
Before we go and break our backs

On paths we've walked a thousand times before
G C

D
And i could see it in your eyes
G
While the rocket's words would echo
G C
The thoughts inside my head
Em D G
"these are the moments that we'll never forget"
G C
And may this song be the soundtrack to
Em D
All the times that you're uninspired.
G C
So take heed and begin to realise
Em D
That maybe one day you'll inspire others.
