Simple but beautiful song. If youre not fond of doing barre chords, you can Capo 2 and 
G, Em and C shapes instead of the A, F#m and D shapes used when playing open.

Grace and speed.


A
I wanna shoe box big enough to fill with stars,
                                                          F#m
So I can tell my age from any point in space and say with certainty,
                               D
That you�re only as old as you choose,
                                           A
Long as you spin you really got nothing to lose,

And I gave a picture to an architect in June,
                                                               F#m
Asked if he could build a tower big enough to poke through the atmosphere,
                                         D
So I could climb in record time upto the moon,
                                        A
See the earth from a different point of view.


You came along and asked why the world�s so blue,

All I could offer up were theories I could never prove When science fails

We ask ourselves what good is truth if it�s not true,

Still were only as blue as we choose.

Well I�ll pick a planet and you can pick a star,

We�ll plot our points together we can travel very far our path is winding,

We can�t rewind but if we move with grace and speed,

We�ll watch it all again from depths we�ve never dreamed.


Oh I wrote a story and I put it to a tune,

And all the words are easy and the movement, how it moved, it really moved me,

Let it move you, I saw your tears,

We may be ageing but we shouldn�t count in years.
