   You woke me up and said come on let's play

      B         D         G
From far, from far, from far away

The laws that caused it all to stay

By you, by you, by you, by you, for you, I do
[Verse 2]

   I thought I'd done it all, I thought I knew

   And now I share this feeling with my dad

   Stolen goods aren't always half that bad

D              G
   The never that we'll always
[Chorus]
    B        D         G
You are, you are the star I say

      B         D         G
From far, from far, from far away

     B         D        G
The laws that caused it all to stay

By you, by you, by you, by you
[Bridge]
        A           G                   F#m               G
   The faded piping on your dress, will always have its place I guess

       A       G
   By you, by you

      F#m              G                 F#m            G
   A common love that we can bless the pleasure of my child's mess

    F#m              G               F#m            G
   Golden books and tenderness have rescued me from emptiness
[Outro Chorus]
    B        D         G
You are, you are the star I say

      B         D         G
From far, from far, from far away

     B         D        G
The laws that caused it all to stay

    B        D         G
You are, you are the star I say

      B         D         G
From far, from far, from far away

     B         D        G               B       D       G                B  D6/9  G
The laws that caused it all, it all, it all, it all, it all, it all to stay
