[Verse 1]
Em Em7 A7 A7sus2 Bm Bm7 Bm Bm7
City of stars, ...are you shining just for me?
Em Em7 A7 A7sus2 D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
City of stars, ...there's so much that I can't see,
Em Em7 A7 A7sus2 D F#m/C# F#dim/C B7
Who knows? I felt it from the first em - brace I shared with you,
Em A7b9 Bm Bm/A
That now ...our dreams ...may finally come true!
[Verse 2]
Em Em7 A7 A7sus2 Bm Bm7 Bm Bm7
City of stars, ...just one thing everybody wants,
Em Em7
There in the bars,
A7 A7sus2 D Dmaj7
And through the smokescreen of the crowded restau - rants,
Em Em7 A7
It's love,
A7sus2 D F#m/C# F#dim/C B7
Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else,
Em7 Em A#dim F#7
A rush, ...a glance, ...a touch, ...a dance!
[Bridge]
G A7 F#7
To look in somebody's eyes, to light up the skies,
Bm Bm/A
To open the world and send them reeling,
G A7
A voice that says, 'I'll be here,
A7sus2 A7 Bm Bsus2 Bm Bm7
And you'll be al - right!',
G A7 F#7
I don't care if I know ...just where I will go,
Bm Bm/A
'Cause all that I need's this crazy feeling,
G F#7
A - rat, tat-tat on my heart,
N.C. Bm Bm/A
...I think I want it to stay!
[Coda]
Em Em7 A7 D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
City of stars, ...are you shining just for me?
Em Em7 F#7
City of stars...
N.C. Bm Bm7 Bm *
...You never shined so bright - ly!
