C 
Oh my star don't fail me now 
            F                 C 
That I have followed you from town to town 
             G 
What are you rushing towards 
        Am 
I can't keep up with you no more 
        F               G          Am 
I can't catch you and I can't slow down 

But I can't catch you 
F                 Fm          C 
Oh my star, don't fail me now 


C 
Oh my heart don't fail me now 
            F                 C 
That I have carried you from town to town 
               G 
Why are you so heavy for 
        Am 
I can't hold you any more 
        F              G             Am 
I can't hold you and I can't put you down 
             
But I can't hold you 
F                  Fm 
Oh my heart, don't fail me 


F                            Am 
I know where my satisfaction lies 
F              Fm 
Way beyond the blue horizon 


C 
Oh my soul, don't fail me now 
            F                     C 
That I have searched for you from town to town 
              G 
Why don't you show yourself 
          Am 
I want to know you well 
        F              G             Am 
I don't know you but I won't let you down 

But I don't even know you 
F                 Fm      C 
Oh my soul, don't fail me now
