[Verse 1]
F#m Bm
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
F#m Bm
Zero hour nine a.m.
D A
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
F#m Bm
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
F#m Bm
It's lonely out in space
D Bm E
On such a timeless flight
[Chorus]
A D/C#
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
A D/C#
Till touch down brings me round again to find
B7 D
I'm not the man they think I am at home
A
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
D
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
[Verse 2]
F#m Bm
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
F#m Bm
In fact it's cold as hell
D A
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
F#m Bm
And all this science I don't understand
F#m Bm
It's just my job five days a week
D Bm E
A rocket man, a rocket man
[Chorus]
A D/C#
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
A D/C#
Till touch down brings me round again to find
B7 D
I'm not the man they think I am at home
A
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
D
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
