Intro: Bsus - F#sus - Abm7 - E - E - F#sus - E - F#sus
Verse 1:
C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus* We keep our love in a plain brown box, We keep it tied with a simple lock C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus* We hold it close because it's all we got, We think it's ordinary but it's not C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus* In a world that starting to fade, A little love could pave the way C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus Don't keep it tied with a simple lock, You think it's ordinary but it's not
Chorus:
Bsus F#sus And maybe this life is Abm7E Just about love and tenderness if E F#sus E F#sus All we are, are shooting stars Bsus F#sus And maybe we we can't fight Abm7E All of this pain and loneliness if E F#sus E F#sus All we are, are shooting stars
Verse 2:
C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus* Tired of hearin' 'bout the bling bling, We're so concerned with material things C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus* It's all cars and diamond rings, And do you think it's gonna ease your sting C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus* 'Cause that's a hole that you can't fill, Velvet rope overkill C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus Free your mind let your heart sing, And just remember that they're only things
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Abm7 F#sus I used to live by the minute E F#sus I was too blind to see Abm7 F#sus Now I found the strength to admit it E F#sus Now it's all I believe, please please
