Intro: D
D
The furthest star in the sky
Bm
Well that's the one that passed me by
F#m
I tried to wish upon that star
G
It didn't get me very far
D
It fell on empty ears
Bm
It fell on empty hearts
F#m G
And my dreams, they fell apart
F#m Bm
I'm always wishing I was someone else
F#m Bm
I'm always hoping I can sell myself
D Bm
But I'll be free for what I believe
F#m G
And I won't sell my soul just to achieve my goal
D Bm F#m
And I've been holding back the tears, dreaming all these years
G
And I sing from the heart if you'll listen to me
F#m G D
Everything I do is what I believe
D
The lights went out across the world
Bm
And your house of cards came tumbling down
F#m
Cause nothing stays and noting sticks
G
When you're rolling with the lunatics
D
But my star in the darkest sky
Bm
Twinkles and watches while the other stars die
F#m G
Upon your empty ears and empty hearts
F#m Bm
I'm always wishing I was someone else
F#m Bm
But I've given up the ghost, I will never sell myself
D Bm
But I'll be free for what I believe
F#m G
And I won't sell my soul just to achieve my goal
D Bm F#m
And I've been holding back the tears, dreaming all these years
G
And I sing from the heart if you'll listen to me
F#m G D
Everything I do is what I believe
D
The furthest star in the sky
Bm
Well that's the one that passed me by
F#m
I tried to wish upon that star
G
It didn't get me very far
D Bm F#m G
End on D
