verse 1 
Am       Am7/G         D7sus2/F#      G     D6/F#   Em 
   I was never one for singing       what I really feel 
Am         Am7/G                  D7sus2/F#             D7   D7sus4  D7 
   Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
  G                 D6/F#                    Dm6/F 
Stars, they come and go,   they come fast or slow 
                  E7                               Am   Am7/G 
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze 
                 D7sus2/F#   D7sus2/F# 
And all you see is glory 
          G            D6/F#             Dm6/F           E7 
Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share 
         Am           Am7/G                D7sus2/F#     D7   D7sus2  D7 
We can shake it away,       if you'll hear a story 

verse 2 
G                 D6/F#                   Dm6/F        E7 
  People lust for fame like athletes in a game,    we break our collarbones 
                Am                              Am7/G 
  and come up swinging, some of us are downed 
                         D7sus2/F#                      D7sus2/F# 
  some of us are crowned,          and some are lost and never found 
                         G     D6/F#       Dm6/F                E7            Am          Am7/G 
  But most have seen it all,          they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls 
                      D7sus2/F#       D7   D7sus4  D7 
  They always come up singing 
                            G       D6/F#                 Dm6/F            E7 
  Some make it when they're young, before the world has done its dirty job 
            Am                                        Am7/G                  D7sus2/F#   D7 
  and later on someone will say "You've had your day,        now you must make way" 
             D7sus4  D7       G       D6/F#        Dm6/F                E7 
  But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned 
          Am           Am7/G            D7sus2/F# 
  or the many years forgetting what you know too well 

Bridge 
          Em               Em/D#               Em/D 
That the ones who gave the crown have been let down 
           Em/C#  Cmaj7           D7     D7sus4  D7 
You try to make amends without defending 

verse 3 
            G                       D6/F#                       Dm6/F 
Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of grown men of twenty-five 
      E7                               Am 
that follow as you walk and ask for photographs 
                        Am7/G                        D7sus2/F#                D7sus2/F# 
Or kiss you on the cheek      and you never can believe they really loved you 
                           G    D6/F# 
Some make it when they're old 
   Dm6/F              E7                Am            Am7/G 
(Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare 
                         D7sus2/F#     D7   D7sus2  D7 
or perhaps there's nothing there) 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
  G                 D6/F#                    Dm6/F 
Stars, they come and go,   they come fast or slow 
                  E7                               Am   Am7/G 
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze 
                 D7sus2/F#   D7sus2/F# 
And all you see is glory 
                       G     D6/F#       Dm6/F                E7            Am          Am7/G 
But most have seen it all,          they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls 
                  D7sus2/F#      D7sus2/F# 
They always have a story 

verse 4 
        G           D6/F#            Dm6/F 
  Some women have a body men will want to see 
              E7 
  and so they put it on display 
               Am                 Am7/G                         D7sus2/F#     D7sus2 
  Some people play a fine guitar,       I could listen to them play all day 
                      G              D6/F#     Dm6/F               E7 
  Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance 
     Am                      Am7/G                    D7sus2/F# 
  I guess I could learn how,       if I gave it half a chance 
        G              D6/F#        Dm6/F           E7 
  But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar 
        Am             Am7/G      D7sus2/F# 
  And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord 
G                     D6/F#       Dm6/F         E7 
  I guess there isn't anything to put up on display 
               Am   Am7/G                    D7sus2/F# 
  Except the tunes,        and whatever else I say 

Bridge 
       Em               Em/D#    Em/D           Em/C# 
But anyway, that isn't really    what I meant to say 
  Cmaj7                    D7sus4 
I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
  G                 D6/F#                    Dm6/F 
Stars, they come and go,   they come fast or slow 
                  E7                               Am   Am7/G 
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze 
                 D7sus2/F#   D7/F# 
And all you see is glory 
                       G     D6/F#       Dm6/F                E7            Am          Am7/G 
But most have seen it all,          they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls 
                   D7sus2/F# 
And we always have a story 

Verse 5 
   G                  D6/F#           Dm6/F      E7 
So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around 
              Am        Am7/G    D7sus2/F# 
I'll come up singing for you, 
               G   D6/F#  Dm6/F   E7 
even when I'm down
