Introduction:
E
This growing old is getting old
F#m
I often find myself here thinking
A
About the birds, the boats, and past loves
E
That flew away or started sinking
E
And it's crazy here without you
F#m
I used to think this all was ours
A
We stay up late debate
On how we find our way
E
You say, "It's all up in the stars"
A E
Well, Some nights I rule the world
A E
With bar lights and pretty girls
A
But most nights I stay straight
B
And think about my mom, Oh God
E
I miss her so much
E
And there are people on the street
F#m
They're coming up to me
A
And they're telling me
E
That they like what I do now
E
And so I tried my best when I took the fall
F#m
And get back right up and get in your arms
A E
If you're out here why do I miss you so much?
A E
I feel like I had it all
A E
Back before I lost it all
A
Now I just wait for you to talk to me
B
But you won't even look at me, baby
E
And I've been saying that you
F#m
You're always holding onto stars
A
I think they're better from afar
B E
Cause no one is going to save us
E
Oh, and me
F#m
Well I am fading in the dark
A
So don't you ever kiss me
Don't you wish on me
B
Why can't you see
E
That no one's going to save us?
Come on, girl
E
I just need a helping hand
F#m
I close my eyes and think about tomorrow
A
It never came true
B
It came true
E
It never came true
E F#m
And you, you're always holding onto stars
A
You're always holding onto stars
B E
Cause no one is going to save us
E F#m
Oh and you, you're always holding onto stars
A
I think they're better from afar
B E
Because no one is going to save us
E F#m
Oh and me, Well I am fading in the dark
A
So don't you ever kiss me
Don't you wish on me
B
Why can't you see that
E
No one is going to save us.
No one is going to save me.
E F#m A B E
No, no, no.
You're always holding onto stars
