Shooting Star Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
He was [Em]crazy of course
From [C]the first she must have known it
But [D]still she went on [Bm]with him

[Verse 2]
And [G]she never once had shown [D]it
And she [Em]took him off the street
And she [C]dried his tears of grieving

[Verse 3]
She [D]listened to his vis[Bm]ions
She be[G]lieved in his believe-ins
[Em]Oh,

[Verse 4]
Oh, [C]he was the sun
burning bright and brittle
[D]And she was the moon shining
back his light [C]a little
He was a shooting star
[Bm]She was softer and more slowly

[Verse 5]
[A]He could not make things possible
[C]But, she could make them [Em]holy
He was dancing to some music
No one [C]else had ever heard

[Verse 6]
He'd [D]speak in unknown lan[Bm]guages
She would [G]translate every word
[Bm]And then w[Em]hen the world was laughing
At his [C]castles in the sky

[Verse 7]
She'd [D]hold him in her [Bm]body
Till he [G]once again [Em]could fly
Oh, [C]he was the sun burning
bright and brittle
[D]And she was the moon shining
back his light a [C]little

[Verse 8]
He was a [C]shooting star
[Bm]She was softer and more slowly
He [A]could not make things possible
[Bm]But, [C]she could make them holy

[Interlude 1]
[C][Em]

[Verse 9]
Well, [G]she gave him a daughter
And she [D]gave him a son
She was [Bm]a mother, and a wife,
And [Em]a lover when the day was done

[Verse 10]
He was [G]too far gone for giving love
What he [D]offered in its stead
Was [Bm]the knowledge she
was the only thing
That [Em]was not in his head

[Interlude 2]
[C][D][Em]

[Verse 11]
[Em]He took off East one morning
Towards the [C]rising sun's red glow
[D]She knew he was going [Bm]nowhere
But of [G]course she let him go
[Bm]And as she

[Verse 12]
[Em]stood and watched
him dwindle
Much too [C]empty to be sad
He [D]reappeared beside [Bm]her saying,
"You're [G]all I've ever [Em]had"

[Verse 13]
Oh, [C]he was the sun burning
bright and brittle
[D]And she was the moon
shining back his light a little
[C]He was a shooting star
[Bm]She was softer and more slowly

[Verse 14]
He [A]could not make things possible
[Bm]But, [C]she could make them holy
Holy
[Em]
