====== Song about a Star ======

||:

[N.C.]He cut your strings so that [A]he could float - lit by lights, lifted by [E]alcohol
over acres of [Bm]loving coast, far away from your [D]lonely ghost. [E]
Now he's [A]cool and all, floating anchorless. [E]Ports of call:
where it's fabulous, [Bm]after all of this watching him[D]self just crawl. [E]

[>>label=Chorus]
[F#m]Think [A]you [D]see [A]him? [E]He's not there, that's just [Bm]light that's not yet [D]dead.
[F#m]Wait [A]two [D]ho[A]urs and [Bm]watch what'll be there in[F#m]stead.
[/label]

?Was he [A]small and cold, like a ring you call [E]up from home,
?held so tightly his [Bm]limbs went numb, worn away between your [D]finger and [E]thumb?
?Well, now he's [A]bought and sold. Cry his call number [E]down the phone,
?he can't hear you - he's [Bm]on his float, waving down to the [D]folks at [E]home.

[repeat=Chorus]

>[A]As the cameras love [Bm]all of his faces,
>they [F#m]hide all the traces of [Bm]you in his [D]heart.
>[A]Stand in line to hold [Bm]forth on his grace,
>but you [F#m]won't even get a head-[Bm]start,
>get a [D]head-start.

[comment=instrumental - like the verse]

?As his [A]close-up comes cascading down from [E]bove,
?the eyes of a nation in [Bm]love are looking on all of their [D]hopes held [E]up.
?And the [A]words that some screenwriter counted and [E]chose,
?and then set in their sequence and [Bm]froze,
?unfreeze on his tongue as he [D]speaks for all [E]of us

?but [A]one. And honey, he's [E]gone.
?And baby, he's [Bm]everyone's. In the [D]dark sky [E]tonight,
?cast your [A]eyes on the dim [E]light
?that he will [Bm]become. You're like [D]every[E]one

>>who [F#m]thinks [A]they [D]see [A]him.
>>[E]He's not there, that's just [Bm]light that's not yet [D]dead.
>>[F#m]Wait [A]two [D]ho[A]urs
>>and [Bm]watch what'll be there [F#m]instead.

 [F#m] [Bm] [A]
