Fare thee well, my [Bbm] bright star
[Gb] I watched [Dbm] your [Abm] taillights [Db] blaze into [Ab]
[Db] nothingness
[Gb] But you were [Db] long gone before [Bbm] I ever got to you
[F] Before [Db] you blazed past this [Eb] address
[Ebm]
[Gb] [Ab] And now I think of having loved and having [Db] lost
You never [Ab] know what it's like to never love
[Db] [Ab] Who can say what's better?
And my heart's become the
[Db] cost
A [Eb] mere token of a [Ab] brighter jewel sent from [Abm] above
[Db] [Gb]
Fare [Db] thee well, my [Bbm] bright star
[Gb] The vanity [Abm] of youth, [Db] the color of your eyes
And maybe if I'd fanned the [Bbm] blazing fire of your day to day
[Fm] [F] Or if I'd [Db] been older, I'd [Ab] been [Ebm] wise
[Gb] [Ab] The too thick the heat of those long [Db] summer evenings
For a cool [Ab]
evening I began [Db] to yearn
[Abm] But you could only [Gb] [Ab] feed upon the things which feed a [Db] fire
[Eb] [Ebm] Waiting to [Ab] see if I would burn
[Db] [Abm] [Gb]
Fare thee [E] well, my bright [Bbm] star
[Ebm] Was a [F] brief, [Db] brilliant miracle dive
And [Gb] that which I [E] looked up to and [Bbm] I clung to for dear [Ebm] life
Had to [Abm] burn itself [Db] up [D] just [F] to make [Gb] itself alive
[Abm] And [Ab] I caught you then in your moment of [Db] glory
Your [Ab] last dramatic scene against a night sky [Db] stage
With a [Ab] memory so clear that it's as if you're still before [Db] me
[B] [Eb] My [Ebm] once in a [Ab] lifetime star of [Abm] an [Db] age
[Gb] So fare thee [Dbm] well, my [Bbm] bright star
[Ebm] Last night the [Abm] tongues of fire [Db]
circled me [Ab] around
[Db]
[Gb] And this [E] strange season of [Bbm] pain will come to pass
[Ebm]
[Abm] When the healing hands [Db] of autumn cool [Eb] me down
