E MajorE       D MajorD     A augmentedA   E MajorE         D MajorD       A augmentedA  E MajorE
How, in every visible way you shine, as if the stars in your wake align

     D MajorD    A augmentedA  E MajorE
Almost impossible to malign

E MajorE      D MajorD       A augmentedA    E MajorE        D MajorD    A augmentedA   E MajorE
 But just below where you shine you burn, although I know it I never learn

       D MajorD      A augmentedA    E MajorE
Just goes to show that I can't discern

CHORUS:

 D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE   D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE       D MajorD     A augmentedA   E MajorE
Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want

       D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE
But you're just Aluminum

 E MajorE      D MajorD       A augmentedA    E MajorE        D MajorD      A augmentedA   E MajorE
Illuminating just what you want to show, You'd never rust but I'd never know

        D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE
You can't be trusted, I can't let go


 D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE   D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE       D MajorD     A augmentedA   E MajorE
Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want

       D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE
But you're just Aluminum


    G+G     A augmentedA     E MajorE D MajorD     G+G        A augmentedA    E MajorE
Every time you're here I forget, When you leave, you leave only regret,

    D MajorD      A augmentedA     E MajorE G+G A augmentedA  E MajorE
Every time you're here, I forget E-very-thing


E MajorE   D MajorD    A augmentedA         C majorC  E MajorE    D MajorD    A augmentedA      C majorC
You're so lightweight, how can you survive? Recycling moments from others'

 E MajorE       D MajorD    A augmentedA     C majorC    E MajorE
lives, You're not as precious as you contrive


 D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE   D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE       D MajorD     A augmentedA   E MajorE
Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want

       D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE        D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE
But you're just Aluminum. Yeah you're just aluminum
