C* = strum once        Am* = pass quickly to F in the chorus to have an accurate version of the original song
                             but if it is too hard you can only play C and F for the chorus
[Verse 1]
CEase my aching Fmind
It's only nature Cmaking things unwiFnd
Still I wanna stay right Chere in the moment when nothing is broken
And Fevery thing silent is suddenly spoCken
And nobody has to chDmange
[Chorus]
                         C  Am*
  Promise, when you go
                            F     C  Am*
  You'll sleep with the stars
                   F        C  Am*  F  
  Remember when the lights dim down
                        C  Am*   F  
  It's only the dark
  FThe end is just the Cstart
 F(The end is just the Cstart)F  
[Verse 2]
CHold my hand and Fsay
That nobody's sure if aCll this goes awayF  
Still, everything that we Cbelieved in was worth it
And even uncertaintFy, it has a purpose, however imperfectCly
I'll never forget your Gface
[Chorus]
                         C  Am*
  Promise when you go
  FYou'll sleep with the Cstars
                   F        C  Am*  F  
  Remember when the lights dim down
                       C  Am*
  It's only the dark
  FThe end is just the Cstart
  FThe end is just the Cstart
 F(The end is just the Cstart)
 (Start)
[Bridge]
DmWrite back soon and tell me what it's Glike
And CI'll look for your letters in the Fsky
DmBelieving isn't easy, but I'll Gtry
For Cyou, anything for Fyou
[Chorus]
  FPromise when you Cgo
  FYou'll sleep with the stCars
  FRemember when the Clights dim dFown
                  C*
  It's only the dark
                        C  Am*
  Promise when you go
                       F         C  Am*
  You'll sleep with the stars
  FRemember when the Clights Amdim Fdown
                     C  Am*
