She whispered up at the sky as she lay on the ground

Up above you when you're feelin' blue...

Do the stars in the heavens look confused to you? 
F                     Am          
If you're going to a desert night,

It can make you feel alive..... Alive...

Call it "livin'" 
          Em

                F 
Let's say it's takin' a breath, 
           Am            G  
And maybe havin' just a few doubts... 
C                           Em 
Havin' questions... Havin' answers, too... 
              F                          Am        G    
Don't matter nearly as much as havin' someone to love...
