Am Dm G Am
[Verso 1]
Am Dm
You can't build love on lies
It breaks the second truth walks in
G
But damn I still wish you'd stayed long enough
Am
To hear the wreckage sing
Dm
You were the finest arranged stardust
G
I ever had the luck to find
Am
A constellation dressed as a woman
Drawin' maps inside my mind
Dm
But I mistook your silence for safety
G
Took your laughter for a sign
Am
And built a future on a whisper
That was never really mine
Dm
There's nothin' lonelier than a crowded room
G
When it's your name my pulse repeats
Everyone talkin' life and hope
Am
But all I hear is your retreat
[Refrão]
Dm
Yeah, I begged the universe to forget you
G
But it just smirks and lets me burn
Every star I try to walk past
Am
Still spells your name in its return
Stardust
Dm
Why'd you light my sky just to let it fall apart?
G
Stardust
Am
You put galaxies in me, now there's a crater in my heart
And I keep walkin' through this hell
Dm
'Cause stoppin' hurts a thousand times more
G
Stardust
Am
You were the fire I wasn't built for
Solo:
Am Dm G Am
[Verso 2]
Dm
I used to think love was salvation
G
But maybe it's a beautiful mental disease
The kind that dresses like freedom
Am
Then handcuffs you to your knees
I talk less now
Dm
The world mistook my quiet for peace
G
But the ones who see both sides of the wall
Am
Are rarely the ones who speak
[Refrão]
Too much in my mind
Dm
And nothin' left to say
G
Just echoes of what could've been
Am
If truth hadn't lost its way
I miss the stars you put in my sky
Dm
Even though I know they were borrowed light
G
But pain don't care about logic
Am
It just wants someone to fight
Stardust
Dm
Why'd you light my sky just to let it fall apart?
G
Stardust
Am
You carved your universe in the softest part of my heart
Gm Am
And I keep walkin' through this fire
Dm
'Cause somehow hope still knows my name
G
Stardust
Am
Nothin's ever burned the same
Slowly picking up:
F
If you're goin' through hell keep goin'
G
Yeah I whisper it to myself every night
Am
'Cause grief is just love with nowhere to go
E Em
And I'm still learnin' how to let go right
Faster again:
Am
Stardust
Dm
You were the comet that split my chest in two
G
Stardust
Am
I'll still look up, even if the sky ain't you
G Am
I'll walk this heaven, I'll walk this hell
Dm Am
I'll rise from every flame I crossed
G
Stardust
E7
You were the universe
Am
And the universe I lost
Slowly picking up:
C F
But I'm still here
G
And the niiiiiiiight
Gm Am
still listens
Dm G Am
Hehehehey
