CAnd thFe CliFghCt of a fading star
CIs wFhaCt you wFerCe, is what you are
CLike tFhe CglFow Cthat christens the moon
CYou shone too FsCoon, yoFu Cshone too soon
GOh when will this war be over?
CAnd the madness leaves the air
GThis brick that's found between us
CAnd the pulling of the hair
FBut Gif there's a reason
AmI doGn't need to know right now
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon
Volunteers are soon forgotten
And many more of us shall die
The sick still feed the hungry
And the last battle song has cried
But if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon
AmOh GanCd I always thought
AmThaGt Cyou, you wanted me
AmOh GanCd FI always thought some how
FThGat Amyou, you wanted me
Ahhh, but if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
'Cause beyond the pale eyes' evening
And the shadow of the cloud
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
