Misc Originals – Avery Cochikas - The Stars (Guitar Acoustic)

C                            Em
 The stars are blinking tonight, it may seem beautiful to some

Am
 But I feel so scared for them

C                             Em                           Am
 Burning bright, that pulsing light could go out at any point

                G
If I could, I’d bottle up the brightness and keep it longer than I should

   C                          Em
But bottling a fire will just extinguish the flame

        Am                                   Em
So am I risking everything I have for just a little taste of fame?

       C                             Em
I look up into the sky again and the lights seem so much dimmer

       Am                                             Em
Out of all the stars that are still left, I don’t see any of them that shimmer

C                                 Em
 Were they already gone the first time I looked at one?

        Am
And was it just a matter of time, or can all of us find our rhyme(or reason?)

C                                   Em
 A once shining bright light can go out at any point

    Am                                G
But watching how they shake and suffer, letting them go on feels like a crime

          Am                                      C
How do we live with ourselves when we’ll probably all go to Hell?

                Dm                                               Em
And we know our loved ones are just waiting there? What did they believe in, do you even care?

        G                               Dm
What is God like, is he fair? What does fair mean, are we aware?

           Am                              C
Are we just savoring this life of sin that we know we’ve been living in?

        Dm                               Em
Because we all know that when we die, we won’t be up where angels fly

     G                             Dm                Am
So we bottle up the way our lives are now, we try to keep that flame bright, safe, and sound.

   C                          Em
But bottling a fire will just extinguish the flame

        Am                                Em
