Tuning: EADGBE

Intro:
G+G D6/F# Dm6/F E7E7

Verse 1:
A minorAm    Am7/GAm7/G     D7sus2/F#   G+G   D6/F#  E minorEm
  I was never one for singing    what I really feel
A minorAm     Am7/GAm7/G         D7sus2/F#       D7D7  D7sus4D7sus4 D7D7
  Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real

Chorus:
 G+G         D6/F#          Dm6/F
Stars, they come and go,  they come fast or slow
         E7E7                A minorAm  Am7/GAm7/G
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
         D7sus2/F#  D7sus2/F#
And all you see is glory
     G+G      D6/F#       Dm6/F      E7E7
Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
     A minorAm      Am7/GAm7/G        D7sus2/F#   D7D7  D7sus2 D7D7
We can shake it away,    if you'll hear a story

Verse 2:
G+G         D6/F#          Dm6/F    E7E7
 People lust for fame like athletes in a game,  we break our collarbones
        A minorAm               Am7/GAm7/G
 and come up swinging, some of us are downed
             D7sus2/F#           D7sus2/F#
 some of us are crowned,     and some are lost and never found
             G+G   D6/F#    Dm6/F        E7E7      A minorAm     Am7/GAm7/G
 But most have seen it all,     they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
           D7sus2/F#    D7D7  D7sus4D7sus4 D7D7
 They always come up singing
              G+G    D6/F#         Dm6/F      E7E7
 Some make it when they're young, before the world has done its dirty job
      A minorAm                    Am7/GAm7/G         D7sus2/F#  D7D7
 and later on someone will say "You've had your day,    now you must make way"
       D7sus4D7sus4 D7D7    G+G    D6/F#    Dm6/F        E7E7
 But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned
     A minorAm      Am7/GAm7/G      D7sus2/F#
 or the many years forgetting what you know too well

Bridge:
     E minorEm        Em/D#        Em/DEm/D
That the ones who gave the crown have been let down
      Em/C# Cmaj7Cmaj7      D7D7   D7sus4D7sus4 D7D7
You try to make amends without defending

Verse 3:
      G+G            D6/F#            Dm6/F
Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of grown men of twenty-five
   E7E7                A minorAm
that follow as you walk and ask for photographs
            Am7/GAm7/G            D7sus2/F#        D7sus2/F#
Or kiss you on the cheek   and you never can believe they really loved you
              G+G  D6/F#
Some make it when they're old
  Dm6/F       E7E7        A minorAm      Am7/GAm7/G
(Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
             D7sus2/F#   D7D7  D7sus2 D7D7
or perhaps there's nothing there)

Chorus:
 G+G         D6/F#          Dm6/F
Stars, they come and go,  they come fast or slow
         E7E7                A minorAm  Am7/GAm7/G
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
         D7sus2/F#  D7sus2/F#
And all you see is glory
            G+G   D6/F#    Dm6/F        E7E7      A minorAm     Am7/GAm7/G
But most have seen it all,     they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
         D7sus2/F#   D7sus2/F#
They always have a story

Verse 4:
    G+G      D6/F#      Dm6/F
 Some women have a body men will want to see
       E7E7
 and so they put it on display
        A minorAm         Am7/GAm7/G             D7sus2/F#   D7sus2
 Some people play a fine guitar,    I could listen to them play all day
           G+G       D6/F#   Dm6/F        E7E7
 Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance
   A minorAm           Am7/GAm7/G          D7sus2/F#
 I guess I could learn how,    if I gave it half a chance
    G+G       D6/F#    Dm6/F      E7E7
 But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar
    A minorAm       Am7/GAm7/G   D7sus2/F#
 And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord
G+G           D6/F#    Dm6/F     E7E7
 I guess there isn't anything to put up on display
        A minorAm  Am7/GAm7/G          D7sus2/F#
 Except the tunes,    and whatever else I say

Bridge:
    E minorEm        Em/D#  Em/DEm/D      Em/C#
But anyway, that isn't really  what I meant to say
 Cmaj7Cmaj7          D7sus4D7sus4
I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day

Chorus:
 G+G         D6/F#          Dm6/F
Stars, they come and go,  they come fast or slow
         E7E7                A minorAm  Am7/GAm7/G
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
         D7sus2/F#  D7/F#D7/F#
And all you see is glory
            G+G   D6/F#    Dm6/F        E7E7      A minorAm     Am7/GAm7/G
But most have seen it all,     they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
          D7sus2/F#
And we always have a story

Verse 5:
  G+G         D6/F#      Dm6/F   E7E7
So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around
       A minorAm    Am7/GAm7/G  D7sus2/F#
I'll come up singing for you,
        G+G  D6/F# Dm6/F  E7E7
even when I'm down

Outro:
A minorAm Am7/GAm7/G D7sus2/F# D7/F#D7/F#
