[Verse 1]
D
Maybe I've been the problem
      G              D
Maybe I'm the one to blame
                C               G
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
    A                 A7
The outcome feels the same
                         D
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
      G                 D
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
              C
And maybe I'm overcast
    G            A                      A7
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain
                         G
I've been thinking 'bout everyone,
A                  Bm         C
Everyone you look so lonely
 
[Chorus]
                       D
But when I look at the stars
                   G
When I look at the stars
                   C   G                D    (Riff)
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
                   C
When I look at the stars
    Em   A*                  D   (Riff x2)
The stars, I feel like myself
 
[Verse 2]
D
Stars looking at a planet
         G           D
Watching entropy and pain
                   C
And maybe start to wonder
        G            A                   A7
How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane
                             D
I've been thinking 'bout the meaning of resistance
     G              D
Of a hope beyond my own
                 C            G
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
    A              A7
Begin to look like home
                         G
I've been thinking about everyone
A                  Bm       C
Everyone you looks so empty
 
[Chorus]
                       D
But when I look at the stars
                   G
When I look at the stars
                   C   G                D    (Riff)
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
                   C
When I look at the stars
    Em   A*
The stars, I feel like myself... YEAH

[Pre-Chorus]
G         A              F#m        G
Everyone, Everyone feels so lonely
G              A              Bm       C
Everyone, yeah everyone feels so empty
 
[Chorus]
                   N.C.
When I look at the stars
                   N.C.
When I look at the stars
                   C    G             D      (Riff)
When I look at the stars, I feel like myself
                   D
When I look at the stars
    Em   A        D        (Riff x2)
The stars, I see someone...
