[Verse]
F    G        Dm            C G   Dm
  You bought a star in the sky   tonight

       F    G        Dm          C  G       Dm
Because your life is dark and it needs some light

        F   G      Dm         C    G        Dm
You named it after me, but I'm not yours to keep

      F        G    Dm             C G       F
Because you'll never see, that the stars are free
[Pre-Chorus]
   Am        C      G       F
Oh we don't own our heavens now

   Am   C       Em
We only own our hell

    Am      C         G       F
And if you don't know that by now

          Am        C       Em
Then you don't know me that well
[Chorus]
C       Dm       Am       F
All my life I've been so lonely

C          Dm      Am    F
All in the name of being holy

C            Dm          Am     F
Still, you'd like to think you know me

G          F      Dm
 You keep buying stars

     Am        G     C           Dm
And you could buy up all of the stars,

    Am          G      C      Dm
But it wouldn't change who you are

        Am           F   C      Dm
You're still living life in the dark

G            F       Dm
   It's just who you are

G            F       Am
   It's just who you are
[Verse]
F    G        Dm         C G   Am
 You bought a star in the sky  tonight

       F    G        Dm
And in your man-made dark

      C      G       Dm
The light inside you died
[Pre-Chorus]
   Am        C      G       F
Oh we don't own our heavens now

   Am   C       Em
We only own our hell

    Am      C         G       F
And if you don't know that by now

          Am        C       Em
Then you don't know me that well
[Chorus]
C       Dm       Am       F
All my life I've been so lonely

C          Dm      Am    F
All in the name of being holy

C            Dm          Am     F
Still, you'd like to think you know me

G          F      Dm
 You keep buying stars

     Am        G     C           Dm
And you could buy up all of the stars,

    Am          G      C      Dm
But it wouldn't change who you are

        Am           F   C      Dm
You're still living life in the dark

G            F       Dm
   It's just who you are

G            F       Dm
   It's just who you are
[Bridge]
Am    E  C    E   Am E   C
You know only how to own me

Am    E  C    E   Am E   C
You know only how to own me

C             F             Em       Am
You're buying stars to shut out the light

C           F         Em      Am
  We come alone and then we die

    C         F      Em      Am
And no matter how hard you try

     C     F       Em
I'll always belong in the sky
