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

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