Alligator Sky Lyrics

::Alligator Sky by Owl City (Feat. Shawn Chrystopher)::
This is the first single off of Owl City's third album, All Things Bright And Beautiful.
This song makes me smile so much... so I decided to figure out some chords to it!
Considering the song's not really guitar based, it's an easy song to play, and you can
do it almost however you want.
Here're the chords I use:
I personally like the feel of bar chords because they make me feel cool. :P But not
everyone has really long fingers like me, so it may not be as easy for you (not to mention,
it makes switching chords bundles harder). Go ahead and play open chords if you want
'cause honestly, it makes no difference.
You can just play the "regular" chords like this:
G: 3-2-0-0-3-3-|
D: x-x-0-2-3-2-|
A: x-0-2-2-2-0-|
Yeah, much easier.
ANYWAY... Let's do this thang.
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go
Uh-uh, that's not a plane--that's me
I'm sittin' where I'm suppoused to
Floatin' on a cloud, can't nobody come close to
The concrete and the sky switch places
So now my ceiling is painted with cosmic spaces
Firecracker to the moon, keep your eyes shut
Blastin' off like a rocket from the ground up
Ha, I use to catch a cab on a Monday
Now the taxi's sellin' lights on the runway
Fly high, condo on the Milky Way
A house on the cloud, God's my landlord
And for my rent, all I pay is my drive
Got that, so if you need me you can find me in the alligator sky
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky (To the alligator sky)
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go
Roller coaster through the atmosphere
I'm drowning in this starry serenade
Where ecstasy becomes cavalier
My imagination's taking me away
Reverie, whisper in my ear
I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid
Roller coaster through the atmosphere
My imagination's taking me away
Uh, now I'mma dance like I never dance
Sing like I never sing, dream like I've never dreamed
Or try to, 'cause we've been lied to
That the sun is somethin' we can't fly to
Well, I sit on my star and see streetlights
Look up, ha, you'll miss me if you blink twice
Imagination is hot, and if you got it, you can meet me
When you see me in the alligator sky
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky (To the alligator sky)
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead (I'll never know)
I'm never lettin' go (Never let go)
I'm never lettin' go
(Pause)
(Ha, Owl City!)
(Key change time! :P)
Where was I when the rockets came to life (Keep your eyes shut)
And carried you away into the alligator sky (Uh, like a rocket from the ground up)
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead (On the Milky Way, uh)
I'm never lettin' go (I'mma dream like I've never dreamed)
I'm never lettin' go
In the alligator sky
(In the alligator sky)
In the alligator sky
(Look up, you'll miss me if you blink twice)
In the alligator sky
(In the alligator sky)
In the alligator sky
You can end on E or let B ring or whatever.
And BAM!!
That's how I play it. Like I said before, this song's not guitar based, so if you think
you'd like to replace one of these chords with something you think sounds better, go
ahead! Give it your own 1-2-punch flavor! Nobody's gonna freak.
Well, have fun playing and singing along. Keep rocking!
