Verse 1:

Fm
One day your story will be told,
one of the lucky ones who made his name.
One day they'll make you glorious,
beneath the lights of your deserved fame

Chorus:

       Ab        C     F#        F                Bbm
And it all comes round once in a lifetime like it always does,
C#m                              Ab      Ab7
everybody loves you cause you've taken a chance
F                     Bb        C#m
out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
           Ab            C  F#           F                Bbm
And they'll say told you so, we were the ones who saw you first of all,

we always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.

Verse 2:

Fm
One day they'll tell you that you've changed
though they're the ones who seemed to stop and stand.
One day I'll hope to make a grave
before the papers choose to send you there

Chorus:

       Ab        C     F#        F                Bbm
And it all comes round once in a lifetime like it always does,
C#m                           Ab      Ab7
nobody loves you cause you've taken a chance
F                     Bb        C#m
out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
           Ab            C  F#           F                Bbm
And they'll say told you so, we were the ones who saw you first of all,

we always knew that you were one of the brightest stars
