~VERSE~
 
D                                 G              D
Maybe I've been the problem maybe I'm the one to blame
                C               G                A7sus             A7
But even when I turn it off and blame myself the outcome feels the same
                         D                             G                 D
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy maybe I'm the chance of rain
              C            G            A7sus                 A7
and maybe I'm overcast and maybe all my lucks washed down the drain
 
~PRE-CHORUS~
 
                         G        Asus2             Bsus2      Csus2
I've been thinking 'bout everyone everyone you look so lonely
 
~CHORUS~
 
                       D                        G
But when I look at the stars when I look at the stars
                   C   G                    D
When I look at the stars I see someone else
                             Em  A7sus
When I look at the stars the stars
 
I feel like myself
 
~INTERLUDE~ Play second half of Riff 2.
 
~VERSE 2~
 
D                                  G           D
Stars looking at a planet watching entropy and pain
                   C              G            A7sus               A7
And maybe start to wonder how the chaos in our lives could pass as sane
                             D                          G              D
I've been thinking 'bout the meaning of Resistance of a hope beyond my own
                 C            G          A7sus            A7
And suddenly the infinite and penitent begin to look like home
 
~PRE-CHORUS 2~
 
                         G        Asus2               Bsus2   Csus2
I've been thinking 'bout everyone everyone you look so empty
 
~REPEAT CHORUS~
 
~REPEAT INTERLUDE~
 
~BRIDGE~
 
G       F#m   A  (Play second half of riff 2)
Stars
G       F#m   A

~PRE-CHORUS~
 
G        Asus2             F#m       G
Everyone everyone we feel so lonely
              Asus2              Bsus2   Csus2
Everyone yeah everyone we feel so empty  
 
~OUTRO-CHORUS~
 
N.C
When I look at the stars when I look at the stars
                  Csus2 G
When I look at the stars I feel like myself (play second half of riff 2)
                   D         Em  A7sus
When I look at the stars the stars
      N.C
I see someone
 
~OUTRO~

I'm not so sure what this is supposed to mean milyjora? You just copied the tab and pasted in the comment. If it's just a joke you don't need to respond, but if you were actually trying to say something I would appreciate a follow up comment to explain. Thank you
