Intro:     D


      D
 The furthest star in the sky
       Bm
 Well that's the one that passed me by
    F#m
 I tried to wish upon that star
     G
 It didn't get me very far
     D
 It fell on empty ears
     Bm
 It fell on empty hearts
         F#m                G
 And my dreams, they fell apart

 
            F#m                        Bm
 I'm always wishing I was someone else
            F#m                        Bm
 I'm always hoping I can sell myself
 

       D                        Bm
 But I'll be free for what I believe
              F#m                     G
 And I won't sell my soul just to achieve my goal
       D                         Bm                        F#m
 And I've been holding back the tears, dreaming all these years
        G
 And I sing from the heart if you'll listen to me
F#m                      G     D
 Everything I do is what I believe

 
      D
 The lights went out across the world
           Bm
 And your house of cards came tumbling down
       F#m
 Cause nothing stays and noting sticks
              G
 When you're rolling with the lunatics
      D
 But my star in the darkest sky
  Bm
 Twinkles and watches while the other stars die
  F#m                             G
 Upon your empty ears and empty hearts
 
            F#m                        Bm
 I'm always wishing I was someone else
                        F#m                            Bm
 But I've given up the ghost, I will never sell myself
 

       D                        Bm
 But I'll be free for what I believe
              F#m                     G
 And I won't sell my soul just to achieve my goal
       D                         Bm                        F#m
 And I've been holding back the tears, dreaming all these years
        G
 And I sing from the heart if you'll listen to me
F#m                      G     D
 Everything I do is what I believe


      D
 The furthest star in the sky
       Bm
 Well that's the one that passed me by
    F#m
 I tried to wish upon that star
     G
 It didn't get me very far

 D    Bm    F#m   G

 End on D
