Intro: E F#m A B E

(pause)                        E   
I saw a starfish on the ground
                          F#m
He was half buried in the sand
                         A B
Just so out of place and ahh
(pause)                          E
He was a long, long way from home

I was a long, long way from home
And so we talked a little while
Then I shook his hands....and I
I was a long, long way from home
(Pause)           A               
And everything is wonderful
                             E
When everything's alright so alright
F#m       A               
There we were
(pause)               E               
One less star tonight
E                  F#m               
Na na na na na na na
   A         B    E         
Na na na na na na 
               (Repeat)
               
We thought a better place to go
Might be the top of purple mountains
So close to outer space....and ahh
We were a long, long way from home
We'd bring some records and a game
Might take a walk or read a book
But it's not the same....no ahh
We're still a long long way from home
(Chorus)
(pause)                 E
I saw a starfish on the ground
                               F#m
Oh, he was still buried in the sand
                    A
Now he's not so all alone
                       B
And he's finally going home
                             E
So I smiled and I shook his hands....and we were singin'
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na 
(Repeat)
F#m       A                        E               
There we were one less star tonight
F#m       A      
There we were one more star tonight
