[Verse]
G C D
Four point two light years away
Em B G
I was slow to begin but I'm ready to fade
C D E B
I've been alone now for my whole life
G C D E
And I see black while you see white
B G
In the dark, I'm burning light for you
C D E B
And that way, you can follow me home
[Chorus]
G A
I'm like a star, I'm burning out fast
E Cm G
I try to shine, but it's never gonna last
A E Cm
Can't you see me just letting you down?
G A E
With all my friends, I'll make a picture
Cm G A E Cm
But in the morning I'll be gone
[Instrumental]
G - C D E - B - (x2)
[Verse]
G C D E
I'm missing you during the days
B G
When the morning comes, I can't stay
C D E B
If you saw me now, I wouldn't grant your wish
[Chorus]
G A
I'm like a star, I'm burning out fast
E Cm G
I try to shine, but it's never gonna last
A E Cm
Can't you see me just letting you down?
G A E
With all my friends, I'll make a picture
Cm
But in the morning I'll be gone
[Tail off on Cm]
