When the Stars Come Out - Chris Stapleton
[Intro]
G F C G
G F C G
[Verse]
G
I was looking for a change of scene
F
You were looking at a magazine
C
It was red carpets and limousines
G
And the grass seemed so much greener
G
All we wanted was to get there fast
F
So we packed up everything we had
C
Running on hope and a tank of gas
G
Like dreams ain’t just for dreamers
F Em
We couldn’t wait to leave that life behind
Am C
Trying to find salvation in that city limit sign
[Chorus]
G
And one of those LA nights
D
When the stars come out
C G
Oh, the stars come out, and shine
G
And they burn so bright
D
They drown the downtown lights
C
When the stars come out
G
Oh, when the stars come out
[Verse]
G
Everybody’s somebody someday
F
Everybody’s got a part to play
C
Everybody’s trying to find a way
G
To say what needs saying
G
Everybody’s got a friend of a friend
F
Somebody that can get you in
C
Begging angels for a sin
G
In a game that we’re all playing
F Em
You and I we’re gamblers, holding cards that we can’t see
Am C
And I’m betting on you, and you’re betting on me
[Chorus]
G
And one of those LA nights
D
When the stars come out
C G
Oh, the stars come out, and shine
G
And they burn so bright
D
They drown the downtown lights
C
When the stars come out
G
Oh, when the stars come out
[Chorus solo]
G D C G
G D C G
[Bridge]
F Em
Down on the freeway, the sun is out of sight
Am C
And I got a feeling tonight might be the night
C
Yeah, tonight might be the night
[Chorus]
G
One of those LA nights
D
When the stars come out
C G
Oh, the stars come out, and shine
G
And they burn so bright
D
They drown the downtown lights
C
When the stars come out
G
Oh, when the stars come out
D
When the stars come out
C C
Ohhh oh oh
G F C G
when the stars come out
