[Verse]
How I wAmish this tired traGgedy was jFust a fading drCeam
Even nFow wrapped in the darCkness you’re the D#dim7light calling to E7me
Dusting oAmff the happy meGmories a feeFling comes to mCind
Like retuFrning to a beCtter time when GI had called you mCine
It was Amyou who taught me mGany things and helFped me on my wCay
There’re joFys here in this wCide world that could D#dim7never be repE7laced
All the pAmain that I had hGid away and buFried out of sCight
It was onFly by your geCntle touch they eGver came to liCght
[Pre-Chorus]
DmNever more could I fAmeel pain,
GAny more than I dCid that day
DmRound and round I’m jAmust stuck in place I cFan’t gGet aCway
[Chorus]
Even all the teFars that we were sheCdding, Even all the pGain I try forAmgetting
I could bear it aFll if I was wC/Eith you it won’t maGtter where we aEre
Even now I sFtill can smCell that Bm7b5bitter sweetened scent of leEmon on my hAmeart
Couldn’t tDmake a single sAmtep until the cloFuds and rGain had D#dim7part
To this dDmay I’ve never chAmanged you are my oFnly shiGning sCtar
Am G F C    F C D#dim7 E7
[Verse]
In the dAmark I closed my eGyes and drew the “yFou” I used to kCnow
I reFcall every emoCtion even D#dim7here all on my E7own
But there’s sAmtill a looming agGony at tiFmes I just can’t fCight
I’m aFlone painting a ghCost that leaves me crE7ying through the nAmight
[Pre-Chorus]
DmTell me what did you Amdo today? WGhat was making you lCook that way?
DmNever once had I sAmeen your face so covFered Gin pCain
[Chorus]
If beyond the raiFning you are waCiting, Reaching for a liGght that’s gone and faAmding
If the lonely teFars are only buC/Erning and are smotGhering your heEart
Won’t you just foFrget the fool that’s searCching so he could Bm7b5hold you Ein his aAmrms
And I pDmray that you could kAmeep on walking no maFtter whGere you D#dim7are
To this Dmday I’ve never chAmanged you are my oFnly shiGning sCtar

F#mSince that tDime I cEan’t uAndo
D/F#Taking brAeath just huErts me tAoo

D/F#Just how loAng we spEent that wAay

[Verse]

Am G F C

How I wish this tired tragedy was just a fading dream

F C D#dim7 E7

Even now wrapped in the darkness you’re the light calling to me

Am G F C

Dusting off the happy memories a feeling comes to mind

F C G C

Like returning to a better time when I had called you mine

Am G F C

It was you who taught me many things and helped me on my way

F C D#dim7 E7

There’re joys here in this wide world that could never be replaced

Am G F C

All the pain that I had hid away and buried out of sight

F C G C

It was only by your gentle touch they ever came to light

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm Am

Never more could I feel pain,

G C

Any more than I did that day

Dm Am F G C

Round and round I’m just stuck in place I can’t get away

[Chorus]

F C G Am

Even all the tears that we were shedding, Even all the pain I try forgetting

F C/E G E

I could bear it all if I was with you it won’t matter where we are

F C Bm7b5 E Am

Even now I still can smell that bitter sweetened scent of lemon on my heart

Dm Am F G D#dim7

Couldn’t take a single step until the clouds and rain had part

Dm Am F G C

To this day I’ve never changed you are my only shining star

Am G F C F C D#dim7 E7

[Verse]

Am G F C

In the dark I closed my eyes and drew the “you” I used to know

F C D#dim7 E7

I recall every emotion even here all on my own

Am G F C

But there’s still a looming agony at times I just can’t fight

F C E7 Am

I’m alone painting a ghost that leaves me crying through the night

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm Am G C

Tell me what did you do today? What was making you look that way?

Dm Am F G C

Never once had I seen your face so covered in pain

[Chorus]

F C G Am

If beyond the raining you are waiting, Reaching for a light that’s gone and fading

F C/E G E

If the lonely tears are only burning and are smothering your heart

F C Bm7b5 E Am

Won’t you just forget the fool that’s searching so he could hold you in his arms

Dm Am F G D#dim7

And I pray that you could keep on walking no matter where you are

Dm Am F G C

To this day I’ve never changed you are my only shining star

C G C E

[Bridge]

F#m D E A

More than I had ever knew

D/F# A E A

I was so in love with you

F#m D E A

Since that time I can’t undo

D/F# A E A

Taking breath just hurts me too

F#m D E A

Even now I sometimes think it’s strange

D/F# A E A

Just how long we spent that way

F#m D E A

But I swear I won’t forget those days

D/F# A G D F

In my heart they’ll always remain

[Chorus]

F C G Am

Even all the tears that we were shedding, Even all the pain I try forgetting

F C/E G E

I could bear it all if I was with you it won’t matter where we are

F C Bm7b5 E Am

Even now I still can smell that bitter sweetened scent of lemon on my heart

Dm Am F G D#dim7

Couldn’t take a single step until the clouds and rain had part

Dm Am F G C

Like a single sour fruit we shared together in the dark

Dm Am F G C

To this day I’ve never changed you are my only shining star
