Intro: D A G (2x)
D A
Seems like this train's moving oh so slow
G
Or maybe I'm just in a hurry
D A
For hours I've sat in this chair alone
G
My eyes, like the weather, are blurry
Em Bm C G
And I thought all the way 'bout the things we had done
Em Bm A
I hope I can help you remember
D A
That night after night when the sun had gone
G D A G
We sat on the beaches, counting the falling stars, stars
D A G D
Counting the falling stars
D A
The rain and the cold must be hard for you
G
There's nothing here I would have traded
D A
And all of these things we were going through
G
Would now all be gone if you'd waited
Em Bm C G
So most often I think about the times in the past
Em Bm A
I hope I can help you remember
D A
That night after night when the sun had gone
G D A G
We sat on the beaches, counting the falling stars, stars
D
Counting the falling stars
