Em            C 
Sometimes I am looking 
              G        D 
At the stars alone to find 
Em            C 
Some reason to forget 
     G                 D 
Or refuse my sadness again 

        Em        C 
Here I am in the dark 
         G              D 
With my feelings and my scars 

      Em       C 
Here I am not alone 
          G               D 
You are in the roots of my soul 

      Em                      C 
And I always have much more to say 
        G                      D 
But the wind and the time will find 
     Em                  C 
Some reason to explain my choices 
       G                      D 
I will take everything in this life 

       Em                     C 
If the stars are hiding in the clouds 
          G              D 
Now it's time to make a change 
Em                   C 
I hope someday don't regret my choices 
       G            D 
And I know that's insane 

   Em        C 
Here I am in the dark 
         G              D 
With my feelings and my scars 
       Em       C 
Here I am not alone 
          G               D 
You are in the roots of my soul 

      Em                      C 
And I always have much more to say 
         G                     D 
But the wind and the time will find 
      Em                  C 
Some reason to explain my choices 
        G                      D 
I will take everything in this life 

      Em                      C 
And I always have much more to say 
         G                     D 
But the wind and the time will find 
      Em                  C 
Some reason to explain my choices 
        G                      D 
I will take everything in this life

At the stars alone

Here I am not alone
