Key: Ab
Introduction: G
G
All I really want is to hold your hand
Em7
All I really want is to be your man
C G
But I have to watch as on solid ground you stand
G
All I really want is you to call it love
Em7
All I really want is the stars above
C
To write back and tell me that they were wrong
G
And our fate isn't yet made up
Am7
Oh, and I thought that you would call me last night
Em7
And confess to me that all along I was right
Bm
But you were just drunk in the car still telling your lies
D7
And I'll let it keep going as a part of me dies
C9 Em7 D
And at night when the stars come out
C9 Em7 D
I talk about you as if you were the one who put them there
C9 Em7 D
And at night when I wrap my arms around myself
C9 Em7 D
It's me pretending that you're here telling me you care
C9 Em7 D
And for so long I've been afraid of love
C9 Em7 D
Because no one's ever been there when I've shown up
C9 Em7 D
But I'll just settle for drunk calls in your car
C9 Em7 D7 G
As I wait for a message back from the stars
G Em7
All I wanted was the pain to stay because it means you haven't left yet
C G
Screaming that you're too messed up to give me your hand
G
All I wanted was the late-night voice whispering
Em7 C
On the phone that you'll never stop loving me
G
Hold onto every soft and stale memory
C9 Em7 D
And at night when the stars come out
C9 Em7 D
I talk about you as if you were the one who put them there
C9 Em7 D
And at night when I wrap my arms around myself
C9 Em7 D
It's me pretending that you're here telling me you care
C9 Em7 D
And for so long I've been afraid of love
C9 Em7 D
Because no one's ever been there when I've shown up
C9 Em7 D
But I'll just settle for drunk calls in your car
C9 Em7 D7
As I wait for a message back from
C9 Em7 D
(The stars)
C9 Em7
I'll chase them every second
D
Looking for answers I'll never get
C9 Em7 D7
Please tell me for once that it wasn't all in my head
C9 Em7 D
Night when the stars come out
C9 Em7 D
I talk about you as if you were the one who put them there
C9 Em7 D
And at night when I wrap my arms around myself
C9 Em7 D
It's me pretending that you're here telling me you care
C9 Em7 D
And for so long I've been afraid of love
C9 Em7 D
Because no one's ever been there when I've shown up
C9 Em7 D
But I'll just settle for drunk calls in your car
C9 Em7 D7 G
As I wait for a message back from the stars
C9 Em7 D
