Intro
Em A# A Em
[Verse 1]
Em
No one gave you the tools to make a real life
A# A Em
And they delivered most of the parts, but you couldn't get it right
Em
And if your mind is blind to the walls you made in the past
A# A Em
And if the boredom of trivial roads has led to a crash
[Chorus]
Em D G C
Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers
Em D G C
Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares
Em D G C
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
Em D G C Em
And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star of light
[Verse 2]
Em
And there are dreams on Earth, you need three lives to fulfill
A# A Em
And there are lives you live ’til the end by standing still
Em
And we've got too many lives at either end of the night
A# A Em
And we've got plenty of lives cut short by what we carry inside
[Chorus]
Em D G C
Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers
Em D G C
Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares
Em D G C
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
Em D G C
And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star
C
B burning star of light

[Alternative Chorus]
Em C
Tell me something I don’t know, and maybe I've lived too long
Em D G C
I've got a bad case of I-told-you-so, and it's hard to hold my tongue
Em D G C
But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light
Em D G C
And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star
C Em
B burning star, a burning star of light
