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

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