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

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