Intro: G 

Em                         G 
My world beats outside of hearts 
Em                     G 
Times of need, we are apart 
      Am           C 
Under stars we are alone 
       G   Bm G Bm 
Under stars 

Em                       G 
Knuckles move under your skin 
    Em                         G 
He wraps his paws and drags it in 
            Am          
And they're moving all around  
         C 
Until he cries 
       G   Bm G Bm 
Under stars 
       G   Bm G Bm 
Under stars 


Em                      G 
Mother cries and turns around 
Em                      G 
Walks outside without a sound 
    Am                               C 
The rain against her skin while she faces every sin 
       G   Bm G Bm 
Under stars 
       G   Bm G Bm 
Under stars 


C                
They have only fallen asleep  
G              D 
They have only fallen asleep x3 

Em                   C 
        I've seen it many times 
                G  
Each time they close their eyes and say good bye 
D                                  Em  
Rest in peace and give yourself to all of me  
 (Em)                C 
        I've seen it many times 
                G  
Each time they close their eyes and say good bye 
D                                  Am  
Rest in peace and give yourself to all of me  
                  C 
Give yourself to all of me 
                G   Bm G Bm 
Underneath the stars 

Outro: G 


Note: Not 100% sure about the accuracy of the lyrics.  
Also, in the studio version, a Bass note of G persists throughout the Chorus, 
but I like the lullaby sound of the G-Bm-G-Bm
