  			"Stars" - by Dan Fogelberg 

C                Cmaj7  Dmaj7                                                                                 
Stood out in the rain,  let it soak me down  

         F                    C 
Before I called you, I called you 

C             Cmaj7  Dmaj7 
Didn’t see me there, hidden by the rain  
  
             F                 C 
Beneath your window, but I saw you 

E7                              Fmaj7 
Putting on your face before the mirror on the wall 

E7                                  Fmaj7  F 
Dreaming that the looking glass was me----ee 

D7              D7sus4       D7                  D7sus4 
Catching your fondest gazes, living through your fickle phases 

Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Em7 
I      love   you... 

(Chorus)      
                 Am          Am/G         F 
And it’s getting easier each day to weep about you 

Am           Am/G                   Fmaj7  F              
Harder every night to sleep without you----ou 

D7       D7sus4          D7             D7sus4                   
How many years must I be driven by this dream of love with  

Fmaj7 Cmaj7  Em7  
You---ou-----ou 


Spend my dimes on phones, trying just to talk  
But you don’t answer, you let it ring 
Spend my nights alone, catching falling stars  
To give to you, love, they’re just for you 
For stars fall every time a lover has to face the truth 
And far too many stars have fell on me 
And as they trail the skies, and burn their paths across my eyes 
I cry-y-y 

Repeat Chorus, then add: 

Fmaj7 Cmaj7  Em7  Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Gmaj7 
You---ou-----ou,  You----ou-----ou...
