[Verse 1]
DmIt's getting cold, I'm underdressed
DmI'm still not sold on this whole mess
CYou told me ' give it all away
CJust trust, it will come back someday
BbI gave my voice, I gave my tiGme
Was there a choice, and was it mDmineDm?C  C  Bb  
I leant out every stitch I Ghad
I gave you everything you asBbked
Now nothing left except this faGith
This old idea it's gonna Arain
[Chorus]
Do you think that the stDmarsF  
Are going to speCnd their light on yGou?
Do you think that the sDmtarsF  
Give a shCit what you might dGo?
EveBbrybody's Cnaked in the wGoods
And evBberybody's tCrying to be Ggood
YoBbu say you have noAthing left to loGse
But I knBbow that's just the Fstory that you Dmuse
What you've got, you've got to give it to your motEmher
What you've got, you've got to give it to your fatFher
What you've got, you've got to give to your sistGer
What you've got, you've got to give now hand it oDmver
What you've got, you've got to give it to your mothEmer
What you've got, you've got to give it to your fatheFr
What you've got, you've got to give to your sistGer
What you've got, you've got to give now hand it ovDmer
[Verse 2]
It's getting dark, I'm lost and scared I can't find shelter Canywhere
You told me ' give it all away
Just trust, it will come back soBbmeday
I gave my body and my voGice
But do you think I had a choDmiceDm?C  C  Bb  
You know what, baby, I'm in Ghell
Nothing but stories that I teBbll
Myself ' I've got to keep the Gfaith
This sad old lie it's gonna Arain
[Chorus]
Do you think that the stDmarsF  
Are going to speCnd their light on Gyou?
Do you think that the sDmtarsF

[Bridge]
When there are biBbllions and billions of us all loCoking for love
With biDmllions of eyes all fixed on sometChing above
And we're alBbl waiting for the pyro at the Cend of the show
But the liGghts we're staring up at died out AcenturieBbs ago
[Chorus]
Do you think that the stDmarsF  
Are going to speCnd their light on yGou?
you really think that the sDmtarsF

Do you think that the staDmrsF  
Are going to spCend the night with yGou?
You really think that the sDmtarsF
