FALLING STAR
Karla Bonoff
Finger pick verses, go into strum for chorus.
[Intro]
G C Gsus G
[Verse 1]
G C
Oh my heart aches deep inside me
Gsus G
Oh, how I miss you.
G C
Will you come back? Oh, why’d you leave me?
Gsus G
Oh, what can I do?
[Chorus]
Bm E7sus E Am G C
Cause every night I sit here by the phone
G D Em
You know it rings a lot inside my head
A7sus A7 Am7 D
I daydream you're home
Bm E7sus E Am G C
I never knew that it would go this far.
G D Em A7
Come pick me up I'm going down
Am7 D C D7
Like a falling star.
[Verse 2]
G C
And the clock strikes midnight and I'm
Gsus G
lying here alone.
G C
I can't sleep, I hear my heartbeat.
Gsus G
Oh, I can't stand the monotone.
[Chorus]
Bm E7sus E Am G C
And every day I have paced the floor .
G D Em
You know it rains a lot inside my heart,
A7sus A7 Am7 D
But I still ask for more.
Bm E7sus E Am G C
But now I know that love can leave a scar.
G D Em A7
Come pick me up, I'm going down
Am7 D C D7
Like a falling star.
[Instrumental]
G Bm Em A7 Am7 D
Am7 C D7
[Verse 3]
G C
And when the birds fly south for a while,
Gsus G
Oh, I wish that I could go.
G C
Someone there might warm this cold heart,
Gsus G
Someone there might know.
[Chorus]
Bm E7sus E Am G C
And every day I have paced the floor .
G D Em
You know it rains a lot inside my heart,
A7sus A7 Am7 D
But I still ask for more.
Bm E7sus E Am G C
But now I know that love can leave a scar.
G D Em A7
Come pick me up, I'm going down
Am7 D C D7
Like a falling star.
G D Em A7
Come pick me up, I'm going down
Am7 D7 G
Like a falling star.
