C Am G
 
[Verse]
C                               Am       G        C Am G
I’ve been walking through these same old streets again
C                        Am    G       C Am G
Living out the same old story over and over
C                                Am             G        C Am G
Sometimes I make a trip and even try to make it over the border
C                             Am  G       C Am G
But I always come back right here at the start
 
[Chorus]
F          G                 C
I built a rocket but nobody knows
    F                      G              C
Someday it will get me to where I want to go
F          G                 C
I build a rocket, nobody even knows
    F                     G                C
Someday I’ll depart and I won’t be back no more
 
[Verse]
C                             Am       G   C Am G
I’ve been sitting in this train back home again
C                                Am       G        C Am G
Rolling down the station where I keep on rolling in
C                      Am       G        C Am G
I’ve been traveling, I’ve been around
C                         Am       G        C Am G
But my feet got used to, step on familiar ground
 
[Chorus]
F          G                 C
I built a rocket but nobody knows
    F                      G              C
Someday it will get me to where I want to go
F          G                 C
I build a rocket, nobody even knows
    F                     G                C
Someday I’ll depart and I won’t be back no more

[Bridge]
F        Am     G
Oow the light, I already felt it
      F                 Am             G
And I keep building my rocket so I can leave
F        Am     G
ow the light, I already saw it
      F       Am                          G
And I keep on building till I am where I wanna be

F          G                 C
I build a rocket, nobody even knows
    F                     G                C
Someday I’ll depart and I won’t be back no more
