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

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