Verse:
D                    Em
Do the stars get lonely
                G       D
Do they ever lose their will to try
D                    Em
What makes a star go supernova
    G                      D
And blow itself out of the sky
D
A desperate play for attention
Em
A way to say hey
G
Here I stay
     D
I am me
D
'Cause there's nothing
          Em        G
Sadder... sadder... sadder...
D
Than beautiful things left unseen
Chorus:
       G
But... you don't know me
       D
But... soon you'll see
         A                  G
That the biggest stars aren't always the brightest
D
They're only closer and easy to see
       G
But... I'll do my best
     D
I'll out shine the rest
       G           A
Maybe then, maybe then
            D
You'll know I would have made a really good friend

D                         Em
I look to the stars for direction
G
Their brilliance, it bleeds
                   D
Through the frozen night sea

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

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


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


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


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