[Intro]
G A G C G Am Em C F G C G
 
[Verse 1]
C Am Em
What if you were born a thousand miles from me
F G
Cross the mountains and the sea
C Am Em
And were brought up in a town i didn't know
Dm G F
A hundred years ago
G E
Then I had never found my ways
Am
I'd stumble in the dark
F
Cause darling it's a lightless sky
Fm C G
If you're not here to bring out the stars
 
[Verse 2]
C Am Em
What if you were to decide you'd go away
F G
And not a word could make you stay
C Am Em
Then I would lie about how glad I was for you
Dm G F
Trying something new
G E
If we would never be no more
Am
I would fall apart
F
Oh darling it's a lightless sky
Fm C
If you're not here to bring out the stars
 
[Bridge]
F G
I know that I am not the easiest
Em Am
I know that I can be a mess to figure out
F G
I know that I have done you wrong sometimes
Em Am
But in the end I hope you know there is no doubt
F G
If the world is coming down on you
F G
There's not a thing I wouldn't do for you
 
[Verse 3]
C Am Em
I remember having dreams when I was young
F G
Now that confidence is gone
C Am Em
And I'm afraid it's even worse than it appears
Dm G F
I've lost it through the years
G E
So help me get it back somehow
Am
Lead me through the dark
F
Oh darling it's a lightless sky
Fm C
If you're not here to bring out the stars
Dm
Oh darling it's a lightless sky
G C
If you're not here to bring out the stars
