Standard Tuning
1st Capo

The whole song follows the following sequence: 
E5  F#5  A5   B5

  E5
This growing old is getting old
         F#5
I often find myself here thinking
           A5
About the birds, the boats, and past loves
           E5
That flew away or started sinking

            E5
And it's crazy here without you
            F#5
I used to think this all was ours
            A5
We stay up late debate
On how we find our way 
               E5
You say, "It's all up in the stars"

[ A5 - A5   E5 - E5 ]
                       [ A5 - A5   E5 - E5 ]
Well, Some nights I rule the world 
                       [ A5 - A5   E5 - E5 ]
With bar lights and pretty girls 
                         A5
But most nights I stay straight
                    B5
And think about my mom , Oh God
             E5
I miss her so much

                E5
And there are people on the street
           F#5
They're coming up to me
             A5
And they're telling me
                     E5
That they like what I do now
           E5
And so I tried my best when I took the fall
               F#5
And get back right up and get in your arms
           A5                      E5
If you're out here why do I miss you so much?

[ A5 - A5   E5 - E5 ]
                 [ A5 - A5   E5 - E5 ]
I feel like I had it all
                 [ A5 - A5   E5 - E5 ]
Back before I lost it all
    A5
Now I just wait for you to talk to me
          B5
But you won't even look at me, baby

                           E5
And I've been saying that you
                       F#5
You're always holding onto stars
                          A5
I think they're better from afar
         B5                      E5
Cause no one is going to save us

         E5
Oh, and me
                  F#5
Well I am fading in the dark
                   A5
So don't you ever kiss me

Don't you wish on me
    B5
Why can't you see
                        E5
That no one's going to save us?
Come on, girl

E5   F#5   A5   B5   E5   
E5   F#5   A5   E5

                        E5
I just need a helping hand
                                  F#5
I close my eyes and think about tomorrow
               A5
It never came true
          B5
It came true
               E5
It never came true

     E5                           F#5
And you, you're always holding onto stars
                       A5
You're always holding onto stars
          B5               E5
Cause no one is going to save us

        E5                          F#5
Oh and you, you're always holding onto stars
                         A5
I think they're better from afar
           B5               E5
Because no one is going to save us

        E5                   F#5
Oh and me, Well I am fading in the dark
                   A5
So don't you ever kiss me
Don't you wish on me
               B5
Why can't you see that
                    E5
No one is going to save us.
No one is going to save me.

Now: [ E5   F#5   A5   B5   E5 ]

No, no, no.
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars



Enjoy it!
