Stars
by Switchfoot
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
PreChorus:
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 A D G
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
D
When I look at the stars
G A D A
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
PreChorus:
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
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
G
When I look at the stars
Em A D
The stars, I feel like myself.
Yeah!
