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

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