Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

DmDm
It's getting cold, I'm underdressed

DmDm
I'm still not sold on this whole mess

C majorC
You told me ' give it all away

C majorC
Just trust, it will come back someday


Bb majorBb              G+G
I gave my voice, I gave my time

                DmDm Dm C majorC C Bb majorBb
Was there a choice, and was it mine?

              G+G
I leant out every stitch I had

              Bb majorBb
I gave you everything you asked

                G+G
Now nothing left except this faith

              A augmentedA
This old idea it's gonna rain


Chorus:

Are going to spend their light on you?

You say you have nothing left to lose

    Bb majorBb          FF       DmDm
But I know that's just the story that you use

What you've got, you've got to give it to your mother

I gave my body and my voice


              DmDm Dm C majorC C Bb majorBb
But do you think I had a choice?

               G+G
You know what, baby, I'm in hell

               Bb majorBb
Nothing but stories that I tell

Myself '?? I'??ve got to keep the faith

This sad old lie it's gonna rain

Bridge:

         Bb majorBb               C majorC
When there are billions and billions of us all looking for love

    DmDm                C majorC
With billions of eyes all fixed on something above

       Bb majorBb              C majorC
And we're all waiting for the pyro at the end of the show

     G+G                 A augmentedA    Bb majorBb
But the lights we're staring up at died out centuries ago


Chorus:

     C majorC         G+G
Give a shit what you might do?


             DmDm  FF
Do you think that the stars

        C majorC          G+G
Are going to spend the night with you?
