          A 
In the distance 
                               
Light years from tomorrow 
               E                
But far beyond yesterday 
        A 
She is watching 
                            A 
Heart aching with sorrow 
        E                       E 
She is broken, as she waits 
                 D            A              E 
      D                     E 
Hoping that when all is said and done,  
 D            E 
we learn to love and be as one 



     A 
Oh Starlight 
                    A 
Don’t you cry we’re gonna make it right 
           E 
Before tomorrow 
     A 
Oh Starlight 
                                                                                 E 
Don’t you cry we’re going to find a place where we belong, where we belong 
                  D 
And so you know 

You’ll never shine alone 



          A 
There are shadows asleep on the horizon 
               E 
That leaves us scared and so afraid 
       A 
As the fall out of a world divided 
              E 
It brings her tears and so much pain 
                        D 
And so we take cover from the dark 
          A                 E     D    E 
Hoping to find where we can start 




     A 
Oh Starlight 

Don’t you cry we’re gonna make it right 
           E 
Before tomorrow 
     A 
Oh Starlight 
                                                                                 E 
Don’t you cry we’re going to find a place where we belong, where we belong 
                  D 
And so you know 

You’ll never shine alone 
                     A                  E    D         E 
Starlight we'll find the place where we belong, where we belong 


BRIDGE 
G           Bm           A                       E 
You will see as the mountains fall and turn to dust 
G            Bm                   A 
That there’s one thing that won’t change 
        
G            Bm                    A                E 
I   believe there’s something within each of us that always stays 

  D                 E       
That will always remain 

          A                                         A 
She is watching, heart aching with sorrow 
          E                    D 
She is broken, as she waits
