Intro 

C              E           Am    F 
But you don't know who you are 
C               E                         Am    F 
The rose gonna take and make you walk too far 
C         E               Am               F 
You're a liar, you are a thief, you are a star 
C              E            Am   F 
But you don't know who you are 

Verse 
Am              F                      Dm 
You are just a kid with a sentimental heart 
                   G         F              Am 
Fade away what happened before you were a star 
                        F                               Dm 
And you don't need the baggage, and you don't need the stuff 
                     G                         E 
And you don't need nobody to fill your empty cup 

C      E      Am        F 
Ta ta, ta ta, ta ra ra ra 
C      E        Am 
Ta ta, ta ra ra ra

Be who you are

Baby you're a star 
C      E        Am    F 
Ta ta, ta ra ra ra 

Verse 
C          E        Am   F 
Never give up, Coltrane! 
C           E                Am   F 
Never be a slave to your own name 
C           E              Am              F 
You are a poet, you are a fake, you are a star 
C              E            Am  F 
But you don't know who you are 

Verse 

Am                F                     Dm 
We could shine a light here inside the dark 
                  G       F      Am 
And get a little closer, lonely spark 
                              F                     Dm 
When there's nothing left to win, and you can only lose 
                       G              F          E 
What's given you for doing what you always wanna do 

C      E      Am        F 
Ta ta, ta ta, ta ra ra ra 

Be who you are 
C      E        Am 
Ta ta, ta ra ra ra 
    F 
Be who you are 
C      E      Am        F 
Ta ta, ta ta, ta ra ra ra 

Baby you're a star 
C      E        Am 
Ta ta, ta ra ra ra 
F 
Be who you are 

Bridge

C                  E 
Lately I've been feeling 
          Am 
Like the stars are rollin out for me 
F 
Stars are rollin out 
C                 E 
Lately I've been feeling 
         Am 
But the stars are rollin out for me 
F 
Stars are rollin out 
     C                 E 
But maybe they're misleading 
       Am                               F 
Is it just a light reflecting off the street? 

Verse 

Am              F                      Dm 
You are just a kid with a sentimental heart 
                   G         F              Am 
Fade away what happened before you were a star 
                        F                               Dm 
And you don't need the baggage, and you don't need the stuff 
                     G                         E 
And you don't need nobody to fill your empty cup
