[Verse 1]
DmNo one gave you the tools to make a real life
And Abthey delivered most of the pGarts, but you couldn't get it Dmright
DmAnd if your mind is blind to the walls you made in the past
And if Abthe boredom of trivial rGoads has led to a Dmcrash
[Chorus]
DmSomewhere up Cabove the clouds, aFmong a Bbmillion prayers
DmFlies a little Chope of mine, if sFomeone out there Bbcares
DmBut back on Earth, CI see it here, it sFhines its endless lBbight
DmAnd all I got is eCmpty space, a Fburning star, a bBburning star of Dmlight
[Verse 2]
DmAnd there are dreams on Earth, you need three lives to fulfill
And Abthere are lives you live ’til the Gend by standing stDmill
DmAnd we've got too many lives at either end of the night
And Abwe've got plenty of lives cut Gshort by what we carry iDmnside
[Chorus]

[Intro]

Dm Ab G Dm

[Verse 1]

No one gave you the tools to make a real life

Ab G Dm

And they delivered most of the parts, but you couldn't get it right

And if your mind is blind to the walls you made in the past

Ab G Dm

And if the boredom of trivial roads has led to a crash

[Chorus]

Dm C F Bb

Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers

Dm C F Bb

Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares

Dm C F Bb

But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light

Dm C F Bb Dm

And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star of light

[Verse 2]

And there are dreams on Earth, you need three lives to fulfill

Ab G Dm

And there are lives you live ’til the end by standing still

And we've got too many lives at either end of the night

Ab G Dm

And we've got plenty of lives cut short by what we carry inside

[Chorus]

Dm C F Bb

Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers

Dm C F Bb

Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares

Dm C F Bb

But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light

Dm C F Bb

And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star

A burning star of light

[Guitar Solo]

G Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb Dm Ab Gm Bb Dm Gm Bb Dm Ab Bb G D Ab Bb Gm

[Alternative Chorus]

Dm Bb

Tell me something I don’t know, and maybe I've lived too long

Dm C F Bb

I've got a bad case of I-told-you-so, and it's hard to hold my tongue

Dm C F Bb

But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light

Dm C F Bb

And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star

Bb Dm

A burning star, a burning star of light
