♡ 'BUY THE STARS' ♡ | MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
[Verse]
F G Dm C G Dm
You bought a star in the sky tonight
F G Dm C Dm G
Because your life is dark and it needs some light
F G Dm C G Dm
You named it after me, but I’m not yours to keep
F G Dm C G F
Because you’ll never see, that the stars are free
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C G F
Oh we don’t own our heavens now
Am C Em
We only own our hell
Am C G F
And if you don’t know that by now
Am C Em
Then you don’t know me that well
[Chorus]
C Dm Am F
All my life I’ve been so lonely
C Dm Am F
All in the name of being holy
C Dm Am F
Still, you’d like to think you know me
G F Dm
You keep buying stars
Am G C Dm
And you could buy up all of the stars,
Am G C Dm
But it wouldn’t change who you are
Am F C Dm
You’re still living life in the dark
G F Dm
It’s just who you are
G F Dm
It’s just who you are
[Verse]
F G Dm C G Am
You bought a star in the sky tonight
F G Dm
And in your man-made dark
C G Dm
The light inside you died
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C G F
Oh we don’t own our heavens now
Am C Em
We only own our hell
Am C G F
And if you don’t know that by now
Am C Em
Then you don’t know me that well
[Chorus]
C Dm Am F
All my life I’ve been so lonely
C Dm Am F
All in the name of being holy
C Dm Am F
Still, you’d like to think you know me
G F Dm
You keep buying stars
Am G C Dm
And you could buy up all of the stars,
Am G C Dm
But it wouldn’t change who you are
Am F C Dm
You’re still living life in the dark
G F Dm
It’s just who you are
G F Dm
It’s just who you are
[Bridge]
Am E C E Am E C
You know only how to own me
Am E C E Am E C
You know only how to own me
C F Em Am
You’re buying stars to shut out the light
C F Em Am
We come alone and then we die
C F Em Am
And no matter how hard you try
C F Em C
I’ll always belong in the sky
[Break]
