Bm
[Verse]
F#m
Walking down a lonely road
G
F# ghost city sidewalk scene
A
And I wonder if there's a place
G
Where they bury all their unborn dreams - oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D Em F#m
Some castle in the sky
G Bm
F# place that only I can back down to
A G
And look out for that shining guide ablaze out somewhere
[Chorus 1]
Bm
Waiting for a sign in vain
G
That's gonna shine away the pain
A
Gonna draw the moonlight down
G
All is gonna tumble down
Bm
Are you gonna guide me starlight
G
Guide me starlight
A
Won't you send me a sign?
Bm
[Verse 2]

You're adrift until you strand
G
Desert island of mundanity
A
You circle round your solitude
G
Within the walls they call austerity
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D Em F#m
I know maybe it's insane
G Bm
To dream of what you'll never gain
A G
Nothing on the line, driven by unsettled certainty
[Chorus 2]
Bm
Waiting for a sign in vain
G
That's gonna shine away the pain
A
Gonna cite a figment down
G
Yet I'm gonna stick around
Bm
Are you gonna guide me starlight
G
Guide me starlight
A Em
Are you out there, anywhere, at all?
G
Anywhere at all

If only I'd burn out before I'd hit the ground

Just like you before they're near me

Run out in the clouds forever near me

I won't even be a foolish memory

Waiting for a sign in vain

Orphan star...

Shine on me!
[Chorus 3]

All is gonna tumble down

Are you gonna hear me starlight

Hear me starlight

Are you out there anywhere at all

Are you out there
