Verse:
D MajorD          E minorEm
Do the stars get lonely
        G+G    D MajorD
Do they ever lose their will to try
D MajorD          E minorEm
What makes a star go supernova
  G+G           D MajorD
And blow itself out of the sky
D MajorD
A augmentedA desperate play for attention
E minorEm
A augmentedA way to say hey
G+G
Here I stay
   D MajorD
I am me
D MajorD
'Cause there's nothing
     E minorEm    G+G
Sadder... sadder... sadder...
D MajorD
Than beautiful things left unseen

Chorus:
    G+G
But... you don't know me
    D MajorD
But... soon you'll see
     A augmentedA         G+G
That the biggest stars aren't always the brightest
D MajorD
They're only closer and easy to see
    G+G
But... I'll do my best
   D MajorD
I'll out shine the rest
    G+G      A augmentedA
Maybe then, maybe then
      D MajorD
You'll know I would have made a really good friend

D MajorD             E minorEm
I look to the stars for direction
G+G
Their brilliance, it bleeds
          D MajorD
Through the frozen night sea

D MajorD            E minorEm
I see them and see my reflection (this light now)
G+G              D MajorD
There's something shining in me

D MajorD          E minorEm
But when a star goes supernova
G+G         D MajorD
Oh what a sight to behold
D MajorD               E minorEm
At least for a second... a second... a second
G+G               G+G
That little star felt what it's like to be known

Chorus:
    G+G
But... you don't know me
    D MajorD
But... soon you'll see
     A augmentedA         G+G
That the biggest stars aren't always the brightest
D MajorD
They're only closer and easy to see
    G+G
But... I'll do my best
   D MajorD
I'll out shine the rest
    G+G      A augmentedA
Maybe then, maybe then
      D MajorD
You'll know I would have made a really good friend


Chorus: (this time, only strum twice on each chord)
    G+G
But... you don't know me
    D MajorD
But... soon you'll see
     A augmentedA         G+G
That the biggest stars aren't always the brightest
D MajorD
They're only closer and easy to see
    G+G
But... I'll do my best
   D MajorD
I'll out shine the rest
    G+G      A augmentedA
Maybe then, maybe then
      D MajorD
You'll know I would have made a really good friend


Repeat the same chord and strumming pattern for the outro until it ends
