[Intro]
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7

[Verse 1]
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F# G G D6/F# D6/F# Em Em
I was never one for singing what I really feel
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7 D7 D7sus4 D7sus4 D7 D7
Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real

[Chorus]
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F
Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow
E7 E7 Am Am Am7/G Am7/G
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7sus2 D7sus2/F#
And all you see is glory
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7
Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7 D7 D7sus2 D7sus2 D7 D7
We can shake it away, if you'll hear a story

[Verse 2]
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7
People lust for fame like athletes in a game, we break our collarbones
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G
and come up swinging, some of us are downed
D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7sus2 D7sus2/F#
some of us are crowned, and some are lost and never found
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7 Am Am Am7/G Am7/G
But most have seen it all, they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7 D7 D7sus4 D7sus4 D7 D7
They always come up singing
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7
Some make it when they're young, before the world has done its dirty job
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7 D7
and later on someone will say "You've had your day, now you must make way"
D7sus4 D7sus4 D7 D7 G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7
But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F#
or the many years forgetting what you know too well

[Bridge]
Em Em Em/D# Em/D# Em/D Em/D
That the ones who gave the crown have been let down
Em/C# Em/C# Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D7 D7 D7sus4 D7sus4 D7 D7
You try to make amends without defending

[Verse 3]
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F
Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of grown men of twenty-five
E7 E7 Am Am
that follow as you walk and ask for photographs
Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7sus2 D7sus2/F#
Or kiss you on the cheek and you never can believe they really loved you
G G D6/F# D6/F#
Some make it when they're old
Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7 Am Am Am7/G Am7/G
(Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7 D7 D7sus2 D7sus2 D7 D7
or perhaps there's nothing there)

[Chorus]
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F
Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow
E7 E7 Am Am Am7/G Am7/G
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7sus2 D7sus2/F#
And all you see is glory
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7 Am Am Am7/G Am7/G
But most have seen it all, they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7sus2 D7sus2/F#
They always have a story

[Verse 4]
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F
Some women have a body men will want to see
E7 E7
and so they put it on display
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7sus2 D7sus2
Some people play a fine guitar, I could listen to them play all day
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7
Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F#
I guess I could learn how, if I gave it half a chance
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7
But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F#
And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7
I guess there isn't anything to put up on display
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F#
Except the tunes, and whatever else I say

[Bridge]
Em Em Em/D# Em/D# Em/D Em/D Em/C# Em/C#
But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D7sus4 D7sus4
I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day

[Chorus]
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F
Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow
E7 E7 Am Am Am7/G Am7/G
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7/F# D7/F#
And all you see is glory
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7 Am Am Am7/G Am7/G
But most have seen it all, they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
D7sus2 D7sus2/F#
And we always have a story

[Verse 5]
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7
So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F#
I'll come up singing for you,
G G D6/F# D6/F# Dm6/F Dm6/F E7 E7
even when I'm down

[Outro]
Am Am Am7/G Am7/G D7sus2 D7sus2/F# D7/F# D7/F#
G G C C G G
