Rocket Man by Elton John (Chords & Lyrics)

    Rocket Man by Elton John

             She packed my bags last night - pre-flight
             Zero hour, nine A.M.
             And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
             I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
             It's lonely out in space
             On such a timeless flight as this
    
    {c:Chorus:}
                       And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                       Til touchdown brings me 'round to find
                       I'm not the man they think I am at home
                       Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
                       Rocket man, burnin' out his up here alone
    
             Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
             In fact it's cold as hell
             And there's no one there to raise them if you did
             And all this science, I don't understand
             It's just my job five days a-week
             Rocket man - - - rocket man
    
    {c:Chorus}
                       And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                       Til touchdown brings me 'round to find
                       I'm not the man they think I am at home
                       Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
                       Rocket man, burnin' out his up here alone
                       And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                       And I think it's gonna be a long long time
