Distant Star Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, a goodbye never seems finished
Just like [C]these songs that [G]I write
[Em]They hang aloft like [C]stars in the night
But [Em]there's nothing there but
the [C]il lusion of a light
[D]And you, [C]you could've been mine
[Em]

[Verse 2]
Your [G]mother, she's an actress
And we're [C]all putting on a [G]play
[Em]Here's some conviction,
pre[C]tend that's all real
[Em]Try to ignore how [C]sad it all feels
Yes, [Dsus4]try not t[D]o break[C]
her heart if [Em]you can

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Hold [C]on
To whatever you can until it's [Em]gone
Carry [C]on
For none of us will be here for too [D]long
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
I'll try not to let the world and its
[C]darkness bring [G]me down
[Em]Think of the love and the
[C]beauty I found
[Em]The simple things that [C]I've left behind
[D]Oh the way [C]he'd make me laugh
[Em]

[Verse 5]
But I hold [C]on
To whatever I can until it's [Em]gone
I'll carry [C]on
For none of us will be here for too [D]long,
[C]lon[Dsus4]g[D]

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][E][F][E][F][E]

[Verse 6]
You're a distant [F]star[E]
My darling, you're so [F]far [E]away
You were never meant to [F]stay[E]
I reach out to [F]see[E]
If you're still here with [F]me[E]
Baby, [Em]we could've [F]made it [C]easy
Couldn't we?
[G]

[Verse 7]
Now I will never know you
You are [C]just someone passing [G]by[G]
[Em]And it makes me sad to think about
All the [Em]stories and fates I'll be without
But I think I'm getting used to the silence now
