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

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