Burning Star

Dm Ab G Dm


[Verse 1]
Dm
No one gave you the tools to make a real life
    Ab                          G                             Dm
And they delivered most of the parts, but you couldn't get it right
Dm
And if your mind is blind to the walls you made in the past
       Ab                      G                 Dm
And if the boredom of trivial roads has led to a crash


[Chorus]
Dm           C                  F      Bb
Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers
Dm             C                 F                Bb
Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares
Dm                 C                  F                  Bb
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
Dm                C             F                Bb             Dm
And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star of light


[Verse 2]
Dm
And there are dreams on Earth, you need three lives to fulfill
    Ab                                G                 Dm
And there are lives you live ’til the end by standing still
Dm
And we've got too many lives at either end of the night
   Ab                             G                       Dm
And we've got plenty of lives cut short by what we carry inside


[Chorus]
Dm           C                  F       Bb
Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers
Dm             C                 F                Bb
Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares
Dm                 C                  F                  Bb
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
Dm                C              F              Bb
And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star
Bb
A burning star of light

[Alternative Chorus]
Dm                                                   Bb
Tell me something I don’t know, and maybe I've lived too long
Dm                     C                       F               Bb
I've got a bad case of I-told-you-so, and it's hard to hold my tongue
Dm                 C                 F          Bb
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
Dm               C              F               Bb
And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star
Bb                                Dm
A burning star, a burning star of light
