Spaceship

	  		
Intro: E Eb 

verse 1 

E 
Get-get-get inside your spaceship 
Eb 
You don't have a car, but you don't have to take this 
E 
You'll jet up out the city like your favorite authors 
Eb 
Look up at the stars, look up at the stars 
E 
You're on the fast track, living from a backpack 
Eb 
Leaving all the sad-sack suckers in the dust behind you 
E 
This is how you roll, permanent vacation 
Eb 
You put in your time, now you're out of patience 

 
F# 
You could really go, no one's gonna stop you 
E 
You could really go, no one's gonna stop you 
F# 
You could really go, but now you're getting caught up in it 
E 
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute 



verse 2 

                          E 
Think about your friends, think about your other friends 
                             Eb 
Thinking about you when they can, probably wondering what happened to you 
E 
Can't return a call, skipping every breakfast 
Eb 
He tried to be a writer but instead he only fact-checks 
E 
Out of shape and uninspired 
Eb 
You force down salad and you just feel tired 
E 
And wake up every day and spend it from the get-go 
Eb 
Chewing on your thumb and staring out the window 


F# 
You could really go, no one's gonna stop you 
E 
You could really go, no one's gonna stop you 
F# 
You could really go if you could spare the money 
E 
But you're burning through your twenties for a misdirected, energetic 



Bridge 

A                   F 
Asshole living in a castle 
E 
Waving ’round a brass pole with a little ball on top 
F# 
And barking like a tree, debating every sick day 
E 
Storming through the office like Katrina on the fifth day 
A                                 F 
Sitting with your pockets full of fists 
E 
And you're staring at your wrists and your scissors and you're shaking so bad 
F# 
You don't have a car, but you don't have to take this 
E 
So pack yourself a pair of socks and get inside a spaceship 

(This part of the song kind of diverts into picking through the chords) 


verse 3 

E 
Daydream and think of the nights 
Eb 
When they'll sing your name and they'll write it in lights 
E 
When the daydream ends like a kick in the chest 
Eb 
You can go out dancing and hope for the best 
E 
But then you get so bored you're half-asleep 
Eb 
The girls are jealous and the boys are cheap 
E 
A circus of the stars, a battle of the sexes 
Eb 
We're all in love with dying and we're doing it in taxes 


E 
You could really go 
Eb 
No one's gonna stop you 



verse 4 

A                                     F 
But then you get that feeling, like a train-track killing 
E 
Like an old-time villain in a silent movie 
F# 
Crying like a kid, squealing like a sex tape 
E 
Shrieking like a Beatle fan and kicking like a sensei 
A                                 F                                E 
Sitting with your pockets full of fists and you're staring at your wrists 
E 
And your shoulders, and they're aching so bad 
F# 
Now they're cutting care, now they're talking pay cut 
E 
No one better dare ask you how your day was 
A                    F                E 
Please don't make me act it out, it's hard enough to talk about it 
F#                         E        
I'll just rent my DVDs and watch my internet TV 
A                     F                E 
I'll bide my time and pay my rent till something knocks me to my senses 
F# 
When I've had enough of dying in the day shift 
E 
I'll pack myself a pair of socks and get inside a spaceship
