May be I’ve ing been the prob lem.

May be I’m the chance of (D5)rain.

And may be ly the (C5)o ver cast, and (Gsus2)may be all my luck’s washed down the (A7)drain.

I’ve been think ing ’bout (Gsus2)ev ’ry one; (Asus2)ev ’ry one, you look (Bsus2)so lone ly.

But when I look at the stars,

when I look at the stars,

when I look at the stars,

I see some one else.

When I look at the stars,

the (E5)stars,

I feel like my self.

Stars be look ing at a plan et, watch ing en tro py and (D5)pain, and may be start to (C5)won der how the (Gsus2)cha os in our lives could pass as (A7)sane.

I’ve been think ing ’bout the (D5)mean ing of re sist ance, of a hope be yond my (D5)own, and sud den ly the (C5)in fi nite and (Gsus2)pen i tent be gin to look like (A7)home.

I’ve been think ing ’bout (Gsus2)ev ’ry one; (Asus2)ev ’ry one, you look (Bsus2)so emp ty.

But when I look at the stars,

when I look at the stars,

when I look at the stars,

I see some one else.

When I look at the stars,

the (E5)stars,

I feel like my self.

I feel like my self.

Yeah!

(Gsus2)Ev ’ry one, (Asus2)ev ’ry one, we feel (F#m)so lone ly.

(Gsus2)Ev ’ry one, yeah, (Asus2)ev ’ry one, we feel (Bsus2)so emp ty.

When I look at the stars,

when I look at the stars,

when I look at the stars,

I feel like my self.

When I look at the stars,

the (E5)stars,

I see some one.
