Seen a shooting star tonight

  You were trying to break into another world

A world I never knew

  I always kind of wondered if you ever made it through

If I was still the same

If I ever became what you wanted me to be
      F                    G                  C              F
Did I miss the mark or overstep the line that only you could see

  As the last fire truck   from hell goes rolling by

All good people are praying
         Am                  Abaug
It's the last temptation the last account
     Am7/G                   Am/F#
Last time you might hear the sermon on the mount
F                        F/G
       The last radio is playing.
