[Verso 1]
Bm
Brian rolled like a stone through the madness,
D A
A golden child with a storm behind his eyes.
Bm
Built a kingdom out of blues and broken bottles,
G Bm
Till the water pulled him under one July night.

And Jimi painted galaxies with six strings,
A D Bm
A cosmic wanderer too bright to stay
Bm
Left a purple haze hanging in the silence,
G Bm
When the world woke up without him the next day.

Where the brilliant burn too fierce to last.

Janis sang like every wound was open,
D A
A wildfire woman with a laugh that shook the room.
Bm
But the nights got long and the bottle got heavy,
G A Bm
And she slipped away beneath a harvest moon.
Bm
Jim walked the edge of every shadow,
G A Bm
A poet king with a serpents silver tongue.

He chased the truth into the Paris darkness,
A Bm
And the doors all closed before his song was done.

[Ponte]
G
No curse, no demons waiting in the rafters,
A Bm
Just fragile hearts in a world that never sleeps.
G
A stage that feeds on every drop you give it,
A Bm
Till theres nothing left but ghosts and memories.
Bm
And still we whisper their names like prayers,
A
As if saying them keeps the darkness back

But the truth is simpler, sadder, human:
A Bm
They were hurting long before their final act.
[Verso 3]

Cobain carried thunder in his ribcage,
D
A quiet soul trapped in a hurricane of sound.

He lit the fuse of a whole new generation,

Then vanished like a spark into the ground.
Bm
And Amy sang with heaven in her heartbreak,

A voice too raw for the weight she had to bear.

She tried to outrun the shadows in her footsteps,
G Bm
But the shadows always knew the way back there.

A constellation made of troubled stars.
