G                C          D 
Four point two light years away 
       Em                    B               G 
I was slow to begin but I'm ready to fade 
                   C    D        E      B 
I've been alone now for my whole life 
    G                  C        D      E 
And I see black while you see white 
            B                       G 
In the dark, I'm burning light for you 
             C         D         E    B 
And that way, you can follow me home 

G                  A 
  I'm like a star,    I'm burning out fast 
E                  Cm                       G 
   I try to shine,    but it's never gonna last 
           A                        E     Cm 
Can't you see me just letting you down? 
G                 A                  E 
   With all my friends, I'll make a picture 
             Cm             G     A  E Cm 
But in the morning I'll be gone 

Instrumental 
G - C D E - B - (x2) 

Verse 
G               C  D          E 
  I'm missing you during the days 
                  B              G 
When the morning comes, I can't stay 
               C               D          E      B 
If you saw me now, I wouldn't grant your wish 

G                  A 
  I'm like a star,    I'm burning out fast 
E                  Cm                       G 
   I try to shine,    but it's never gonna last 
           A                        E     Cm 
Can't you see me just letting you down? 
G                 A                  E 
   With all my friends, I'll make a picture 
             Cm 
But in the morning I'll be gone 

Tail off on Cm
