Shoot Down The Stars Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]'81 was the year shit hit
the fan [C]in a major way
A sad [Bm]day for aspiring a[D]rtists
Almost [Em]20 years after the fact
[C]I'm still on my hustle
Dig[G]gin' graves for
an aspiring [D]artists
Pushing [Em]daises up
And never compromise the arts
to [C]make a crowd clap
[G]Shit on since the first [D]show
But we turned [Em]feces to fertil[C]izer
So when you [G]diss it's just food
for the [D]flowers to grow
[Em]Sold 15 plus out [C]of
backpacks, no trunk[G]s
Too young to drive
[D]Put live hip hop[Em] in the ears of
[C]up state kids
That thought [G]rap was past tense,
[D]hence the last name
[Em]Got name for playing basem[C]ents and such
and making [G]songs that our friends loved
[D]And when the fish bowl got[Em] too
small to [C]hold the goldfish
[G]We filled our gills with water and
[D]ripped that mother fucker like

[Verse 2]
So take a [Bm]step back
And a breath in
[Am]Let it out now
Put your chin up
You can [Bm]do it tiger
You a man now
And in your [Am]dream it's time to do
the best you can now

[Verse 3]
We break [Em]ourselves down
And build ourselves [Bm]up
in disappointment
How fragile [Am]we are
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
We'll shake up [Em]this town
And shoot down the [Bm]stars for our enjoyment
So sexy [Am]we are
So sexy we are,

[Interlude 1]
we just don't know it
[Em][Bm]
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[Em]This is what you wanted right?
[C]How many nights were spent
[Bm]pouring out your guts dummy?
[D]How many pun[Em]ishments endured
for fucking up in school?
[C]How many teachers proved
[G]wrong by writing songs instead?
[D](My[Em] point exactly)
But you knew you had a spark,
did [C]you?
Something producin' to the [G]dreams
your pop's dreams lent [D]you
Stay focused [Em]when nothing
seemed to make sense
[C]Stealing verses with
[G]that Cassius Clay confidence
[D]Sometimes you stubborn as shi[Em]t,
that's the McCoy in [C]you
You learn to be a man [Bm]without losing
the [G]boy in [D]you
(Just do your thing man)

[Verse 5]
So take a [Bm]step back
And a breath in
[Am]Let it out now
Put your chin up
You can [D]do it tiger
You a man now
[Dm]And in your drea[Am]m it's time to do
the best you can now
So take a [Bm]step back
And a breath in
[Am]Let it out now
Put your chin up
You [Bm]can do it tiger
You a man now
[Am]And in your dream it's time to do
the best you can now

[Verse 6]
We break [Em]ourselves down
And build ourselves [Bm]up
in disappointment
How fragile [Am]we are
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
We'll shake up [Em]this town
And shoot down the [Bm]stars for our enjoyment
So sexy [Am]we are
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
We break [Em]ourselves down
And build ourselves [Bm]up

How fragile [Am]we are
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
We'll shake up [Em]this town
And shoot down the [Bm]stars for our enjoyment
So sexy [Am]we are
So sexy we are, we just don't know it

[Verse 7]
So take a [Bm]step back
And a breath in
[Am]Let it out now
Put your chin up
You can [Bm]do it tiger
You a man now
[Am]And in your dream it's time to do
the best you can now

[Verse 8]

And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
