Stars Chords

[Intro]
G  D6/F#  Dm6/F  E7
 
[Verse 1]
Am       Am7/G         D7sus2/F#     G     D6/F#   Em
   I was never one for singing      what I really feel
Am          Am7/G                   D7sus2/F#            D7   D7sus4  D7
   Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real
 
[Chorus]
  G                  D6/F#                   Dm6/F
Stars, they come and go,   they come fast or slow
                  E7                               Am   Am7/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            D6/F#              Dm6/F          E7
Hey, but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
         Am           Am7/G                    D7sus2/F#    D7  D7sus2  D7
We can shake it away,       if you'll hear the story
 
[Verse 2]
G                  D6/F#                   Dm6/F       E7
  People lust for fame like athletes in a game,    we break our collarbones
                Am                             Am7/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   D6/F#       Dm6/F                E7            Am          Am7/G
  But most have seen it all,        they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
                      D7sus2/F#    D7  D7sus4  D7
  They always come up singing
                            G        D6/F#                   Dm6/F         E7
  Some make it when they're young, before the world has done its dirty job
            Am                                        Am7/G                    D7sus2/F#   D7
  and later on someone will say "You've had your day,        now you must make way"
             D7sus4  D7       G       D6/F#         Dm6/F             E7
  But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned
          Am           Am7/G              D7sus2/F#
  or the many years forgetting what you know too well
 
[Bridge]
          Em                Em/D#               Em/D
That the ones who gave the crown have been let down
           Em/C# Cmaj7            D7     D7sus4  D7
You try to make amends without defending
 
[Verse 3]
            G                        D6/F#                       Dm6/F
Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of grown men of twenty-five
      E7                                Am
that follow as you walk and ask for autographs
                        Am7/G                        D7sus2/F#                D7sus2/F#
Or kiss you on the cheek      and you never can believe they really loved you
                           G    D6/F#
Some make it when they're old
    Dm6/F              E7                Am           Am7/G
(Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
                           D7sus2/F#    D7  D7sus2  D7
or perhaps there's nothing there)
 
[Chorus]
  G                  D6/F#                      Dm6/F
Stars, they come and go,   they come fast, they come slow
                  E7                               Am   Am7/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   D6/F#      Dm6/F                E7            Am          Am7/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           D6/F#            Dm6/F
  Some women have a body men will want to see
              E7
  and so they put it on display
               Am                 Am7/G                         D7sus2/F#     D7sus2
  Some people play a fine guitar,       I could listen to them play all day
                      G              D6/F#     Dm6/F               E7
  Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance
     Am                      Am7/G                    D7sus2/F#
  I guess I could learn how,       if I gave it half a chance
        G              D6/F#        Dm6/F           E7
  But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar
        Am             Am7/G      D7sus2/F#
  And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord
G                     D6/F#       Dm6/F         E7
  I guess there isn't anything to put up on display
               Am   Am7/G                    D7sus2/F#
  Except the tunes,        and whatever else I say
 
[Bridge]
       Em               Em/D#   Em/D            Em/C#
But anyway, that isn't really   what I meant to say
  Cmaj7                    D7sus4
I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day
 
[Chorus]
  G                  D6/F#                          Dm6/F
Stars, they come and go,   they come in fast, they come slow
                      E7                               Am   Am7/G
And they go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
                    D7sus2/F#   D7/F#
And all you see is glory
                       G   D6/F#      Dm6/F                E7            Am          Am7/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                   D6/F#          Dm6/F      E7
So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around
              Am          Am7/G    D7sus2/F#
I'll come up singing for you,
               G  D6/F#  Dm6/F  E7
even when I'm down
 
[Outro]
Am  Am7/G  D7sus2/F#  D7/F#
G  C  G
