Intro: D 
 
      D 
 The furthest star in the sky 
       Bm 
 Well that's the one that passed me by 
    F#m 
 I tried to wish upon that star 
     G 
 It didn't get me very far 
     D 
 It fell on empty ears 
     Bm 
 It fell on empty hearts 
         F#m                G 
 And my dreams, they fell apart 
 
  
            F#m                        Bm 
 I'm always wishing I was someone else 
            F#m                        Bm 
 I'm always hoping I can sell myself 
  
 
       D                        Bm 
 But I'll be free for what I believe 
              F#m                     G 
 And I won't sell my soul just to achieve my goal 
       D                         Bm                        F#m 
 And I've been holding back the tears, dreaming all these years 
        G 
 And I sing from the heart if you'll listen to me 
F#m                      G     D 
 Everything I do is what I believe 
 
  
      D 
 The lights went out across the world 
           Bm 
 And your house of cards came tumbling down 
       F#m 
 Cause nothing stays and noting sticks 
              G 
 When you're rolling with the lunatics 
      D 
 But my star in the darkest sky 
  Bm 
 Twinkles and watches while the other stars die 
  F#m                             G 
 Upon your empty ears and empty hearts 
  
            F#m                        Bm 
 I'm always wishing I was someone else 
                        F#m                            Bm 
 But I've given up the ghost, I will never sell myself 
  
 
       D                        Bm 
 But I'll be free for what I believe 
              F#m                     G 
 And I won't sell my soul just to achieve my goal 
       D                         Bm                        F#m 
 And I've been holding back the tears, dreaming all these years 
        G 
 And I sing from the heart if you'll listen to me 
F#m                      G     D 
 Everything I do is what I believe 
 
 
      D 
 The furthest star in the sky 
       Bm 
 Well that's the one that passed me by 
    F#m 
 I tried to wish upon that star 
     G 
 It didn't get me very far 
 
(D    Bm    F#m   G)
