Intro:
B minorBm E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD


Verse 1:
G minorGm         C majorC          FF
 You don't look a day over ten so why be
    A augmentedA           B minorBm       F# minorF#m
Do you have to pretend to be older than you are
G+G         A augmentedA
Beads and mirrors by your body
  B minorBm        E MajorE        A augmentedA      D MajorD
And in some roadside bar you feel the pain little star

Verse 2:
G minorGm    C majorC           FF
Lost on a merry go round, on the game
    A augmentedA            B minorBm          F# minorF#m
You can never be found cause you don't know who you are
  G+G      A augmentedA
The reservation killed your nation
  B minorBm        E MajorE        A augmentedA      D MajorD
And in some tourists car you feel the pain Little star


Chorus:
  D/C#   B minorBm    A augmentedA    G+G       A augmentedA        D MajorD
You know, you know, we grow and grow, we never slow, we always win
  D/C#   B minorBm    A augmentedA    G+G           A augmentedA           D MajorD
And you feel lost, and you feel crossed, and you feel tossed, just like the wind


Bridge:
   B minorBm        E MajorE        A augmentedA D MajorD
Your father will have told you of the wind


Verse 3:
G minorGm        C majorC                 FF
Bowed those fine heads that, once proud, roamed the plains
      A augmentedA            B minorBm     F# minorF#m
They sought nothing to gain 'til our fathers civilized
  G+G       A augmentedA         B minorBm
And broken hearted arrows roamed the skies
       E MajorE        A augmentedA      D MajorD
Then you were born to feel the pain Little star


Chorus:
  D/C#   B minorBm    A augmentedA    G+G       A augmentedA        D MajorD
You know, you know, we grow and grow, we never slow, we always win
  D/C#   B minorBm    A augmentedA    G+G           A augmentedA           D MajorD
And you feel lost, and you feel crossed, and you feel tossed, just like the wind


Chorus:
  D/C#   B minorBm    A augmentedA    G+G       A augmentedA        D MajorD
You know, you know, we grow and grow, we never slow, we always win
  D/C#   B minorBm    A augmentedA    G+G           A augmentedA           D MajorD
And you feel lost, and you feel crossed, and you feel tossed, just like the wind


Outro:
   B minorBm        E MajorE        A augmentedA D MajorD
Your father will have told you of the wind
