Tom: E
E E A A C#m B
[Verse]
E
Well it would be a lovely start
A
to plant some pebbles in the garden
C#m
Hope to grow a planet large
B
that floats around in our backyard
E
And yes, your family still could visit
A
We haven't left the solar system
C#m
If they request consent to land
B
we'll accept if we are wearing pants
E
But most days let's just float on top
A
and orbit all our favorite spots
C#m
If we get dizzy, let's fall off
B
A couple cozy astronauts
E E A A C#m B
[Verse]
E
Well it would be a lovely start
A
to plant some pebbles in the garden
C#m
If it won't rain it doesn't matter
B
we'll water them with tears of laughter
E
At first there might not be much to it
A
no forest, roads or rivers through it
C#m
A rocky globe to start us off
B
and on it grow the world we want
E
The neighbors will all think we're strange
A
as we wave at them from outer space
C#m
But I had to know just how it felt
B
to grow something bigger than…
[Chorus]
E
What I have built alone
A home I thought I'd never leave
A
but you and I can shape a world
the lakes and towns and everything
C#m
We'll put a planet in the sky
B E
grown from pebbles, you and I
[Bridge]
E E A A
C#m
And if little aliens do invade
B
attempts at peace will still be made
A
I'll contact them with gifts but if
E
they reject those I will insist
C#m
on meeting their attacks with might
B
A big galactic pillow fight
A
and just before they win we're told
E
they're allergic to the whimsical
C#m
So I'll blast this song and don't you know
B
the sweetness makes their heads explode
A
and look they're filled with popcorn so
C#m B E
let's grab a snack, sit back, and watch the show…
[Chorus]
E
I'm not a chemist, no, I am no geologist
A
but you and I can shape a world
The lakes and towns and all of it
C#m
and bit by bit and stone by stone
A
the pebbles take the shape of somethin' else
B E
That’s growing bigger than myself
