Hi, I'm Richie Amigata, and we're gonna play a song called Starlight.
trying to get out of something that is very difficult.
you just keep staying in it forever, and it sucks the life out of you.

I couldn't see a thing tonight
star, not one star shone home
Couldn't see a thing tonight

_ _ _ _ Hi, I'm Richie Amigata, and we're gonna play a song called Starlight.
It's [Gb] about obsession and trying to get out of something that is very difficult.
And you just keep staying in it forever, and it sucks the life out of you. _

_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, [A] I couldn't see the moon tonight
Not one wave, not one wave was out for me
Yeah, I couldn't see the pale moonlight
Not one thought, not one wave was coming through
And [Bb] I'm terrified to look [F] outside
Suddenly, [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ starlight makes it all the [F] same
Low light and I feel the [C] pain
_ Starlight makes it all the game with [G] you, baby
_ _ [E] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ Starlight and I feel the _ [F] same
This light on this _
_ [C] aeroplane
I jump from a moving train [G] just to keep you
_ _ [Ab] Would you do [A] it for me? _ _ _ _ _
Ooh, _ _ _ _ _ _ oh, I couldn't see the sky [E] tonight
Not one star, not one star shone home
Yeah, I had a real hard time tonight
I still feel your breath
Oh, my love, I hope you know
[Bb] That _ I've been [F] holding out the [Am] whole night
_ _ [A] _ _ _
[Bb] And I'm terrified to look [F] outside
Suddenly, [Am] you _ _ _ _ _
_ Something about [C] you is like _
_ [F] Drinking a cold [Am] glass of water
_ [E] _ _ Needs a place to go to [Am] sometimes _ _ _ _
_ _ Something about [C] you is like
_ _ [F] Going against mother [Am] nature
_ [E] And I decide [B] to face [E] her every [Am] time
Da da da da da da da [G] da da da da da [Am] da da

_ This light on this _ [C] aeroplane
I jump from a moving train [G] just to keep you
_ [Ab] _ Would you do it [Dm] for me?
_ As I watch you walk across [G] the street
I keep wondering why I [C] can't leave
Why the heavens are [F] against me
And you _
[Dm] Do you even not think [G] about me? _
Do you even think about [C] me? _
[Dm] Cause I need _ _ you _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Couldn't say thanks and I, I won't
I won't start showing for you _
