F    G        Dm            C       G    Dm 
 You bought a star in the sky-y-y-y-y  tonight

        F     G       Dm            C          G         Dm 
Because  your life is dark and it nee-ee-ee-ee-eeds some light

         F   G     Dm          C         G        Dm 
You named it after me, but I'm no-o-o-ot yours to keep

        F      G     Dm            C         G       F 
Because you'll never see, that the sta-a-a-a-ars are free
[Bridge]
   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
[Pre-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
[Chorus]
    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    Dm 
 You bought a star in the sky-y-y-y-y  tonight

      F     G        Dm 
And in your man-made dark

    C       G        Dm
The light inside you died
[Bridge]
   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
[Pre-Chorus]

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

 You keep buying stars

You're still living life in the dark

 It's just who you are

 It's just who you are

You know only how to own me

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

   C     F        E       Am
We come alone and then we die

    C        F    E        Am
And no matter how hard you try 

     C      F      E        [ Am ]
I'll always belong in ... the sky
