Intro:
C B A G F E G
C	           B
If I could walk a straight mile
A			  G
I could write it down in shorthand
	F  	E
I could show you
G
If you want me to

C		B
And if I had an hourglass
A			  G
I'd save the grains of time I spent with you
F	  E
And that's what I'd do
G
But I remember

F	   E		    G
You always said it could be great
And I knew it could be

Well there's a way you look at things
That no one needs to know but you
And you shout em with me

Like every time the leaves would fall
You'd promise me that they'd be back again
And I believed in you

F	   E	   	    G
You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
F	   E   	 	    D
Now it seems that I've gone too far

C		G
As bright as you are
A#	   	     F
Don't get burned by your lucky star
C		G
Bright as you are
A#		     F
Don't get burned by your lucky star

Written down in hard-bound books
The way things used to be (?)
I'd swear they're all for you

(?)
Mama said shit I don't know what you'll do
As if it's up to you

You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that I've gone too far

(The rest till the end is C-G-A#-F)

As bright as you are
Don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are
Don't get burned by your lucky star

Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you around
Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you around

Turn you around
Turn you around
Turn you around
Turn you around
F	     G 		C
They're gonna turn you around
