The furthest star in the sky, [Bm] well that's the one that passed me by.
[F#m] I tried to wish upon that star, [G] it didn't get me very far.
[D] It fell on empty ears, [Bm] fell on empty hearts.
And [F#m] my dreams, they [G] fell apart.
I'm [A] always wishing I was [F#m] someone else.
[Bm] I'm [A] always hoping I can [F#m] sell myself.
[Bm] [D] But I'll be free for what [Bm] I believe.
And I [F#m] won't sell my soul just [G] to achieve my goals.
[D] And I've been holding [Bm] back the tears, dreaming all [F#m] these years.
[G] And I'll sing from the heart if you listen to me.
[A]
Everything I do is what I [D] believe.
The lights went out across the world, [Bm] and your house of cards came tumbling down.
[F#m] Nothing stays and nothing sticks [D] when you're roaming with the lunatics.
But my star in the darkest sky, [Bm] twinkles and watches while the other stars die [F#m] upon your empty ears and [G] empty hearts.
I'm [A] always wishing I was [D] someone else.
[Bm] But I've given [A] up the ghost, I will never sell myself.
