[Verse 1]
There is notAmhing special abDout me
I am juGst a lD/F#il    Emstar
If it sAmeems like I'm shining bDrightly
It's probably a reflection of sGomething you aD/F#lready aEmre
I forAmget about myDself sometime
When there's Gso many oD/F#ther arouEmnd
When Amdeep inside you feels dDarkest
That is whGere I can aD/F#lways be fEmound
That is wChere I can aDlways be foGund
That is wChere I can aDlways be foGund
[Chorus]
Just keep tAmrying and trDying
It's jGust a mD/F#atter of timiEmng
Though the grAminding is tiDring
Don'Gt let 'em sD/F#top you from smEmiling
Just keep Amtrying and tDrying
SooGner or lD/F#ater you'll Emfind it
It's suAmrprising how inDspiring
It Gis to D/F#see you shinEming
Cause in the dCark of the nDight you're aGll I can sEmee
and you sCure look like a sDtar to Gme
[Verse 2]
There is noAmthing special abDout me
I am juGst a D/F#lil  sEmtar
If you trAmy to reach out an toDuch me
you'll see IG'm not rD/F#eally that Emfar
I may nAmot be the briDghtest no am I the lGast onD/F#e you'll sEmee
But as lAmong as you noDtice, that's Gjust D/F#fine with Emme
EverytChing's just fDine with Gme
EverytChing's just fDine with Gme
[Chorus]
Just keep Amtrying and trDying
It's jGust a mD/F#atter of timiEmng
Though the grAminding is tiriDng
Don'Gt let 'em D/F#stop you from smiEmling
Just keep tAmrying and trDying
SooGner or lD/F#ater you'll Emfind it
It's suAmrprising how insDpiring
