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

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

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

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

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

                           E
And I've been saying that you
                       F#m
You're always holding onto stars
                          A
I think they're better from afar
         B                      E
Cause no one is going to save us

         E
Oh, and me
                  F#m
Well I am fading in the dark
                   A
So don't you ever kiss me

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

E   F#m   A   B   E   
E   F#m   A   E

                        E
I just need a helping hand
                                  F#m
I close my eyes and think about tomorrow
               A
It never came true
          B
It came true
               E
It never came true

     E                           F#m
And you, you're always holding onto stars
                       A
You're always holding onto stars
          B               E
Cause no one is going to save us

        E                          F#m
Oh and you, you're always holding onto stars
                         A
I think they're better from afar
           B               E
Because no one is going to save us

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

Now: [E   F#m   A   B   E]

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
