Goodbye Rocketship

G                      
I do what you tell me like it's my idea 
C                         
I came down to find you, pretend that you're here 
      G                              
And I never could replace you, it's too dark to try 
      D                                C 
But I look for our memories, and their clothing, and their eyes 
           Am               Em    D 
You didn't know, you didn't know 

G                              
You're there when I need you, we talk on the phone 
C                                  
I know that you've been trying to build us a home 
      G                          
Yet I scramble to find one with couches and boys 
    D                     C    
But all I hear's an echo, the sound of your voice 
           Am               Em    D 
You didn't know, you didn't know 

G                                   
You may have more to teach me, but what haven't I heard? 
C                              
Listening is easy, but learning is earned 
  G                                       
I forgive you, and I thank you, you know all the reasons why 
    D                         C 
I'm sorry and I love you, all we can do is try 

           Am          Em       D 
You didn't know how to raise me 
G   D/F#      Em     D      C 
Any more than I knew how to grow up 
Am                        D 
Childhood is over, and it wasn't enough 

    G                            
But Nina's in the garden and rascal's on the roof 
    C                       
The charges against you, I know I have no proof 
   G                                 
So goodbye to the Chelsea, goodbye to the rocketship 
        D                      
There's only room for you and me there 
            C 
And there's so much more to fit 

           Am               Em    D 
You didn't know, you didn't know 
           Am               Em    D 
You didn't know, you didn't know 
           Am               Em    D 
You didn't know, you didn't know
