Verse 1:

C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus*

We keep our love in a plain brown box, We keep it tied with a simple lock

C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus*

We hold it close because it's all we got, We think it's ordinary but it's not

C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus*

In a world that starting to fade, A little love could pave the way

Don't keep it tied with a simple lock, You think it's ordinary but it's not

Chorus:

And maybe this life is

Just about love and tenderness if

All we are, are shooting stars

And maybe we we can't fight

All of this pain and loneliness if

All we are, are shooting stars

Verse 2:

C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus*

Tired of hearin' 'bout the bling bling, We're so concerned with material things

C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus*

It's all cars and diamond rings, And do you think it's gonna ease your sting

C#sus Ebsus Esus F#sus*

'Cause that's a hole that you can't fill, Velvet rope overkill

Free your mind let your heart sing, And just remember that they're only things

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

I used to live by the minute

I was too blind to see

Now I found the strength to admit it

Now it's all I believe, please please

Solo: (play chorus chords 1x)

Repeat Chorus

Outro:

Shooting stars

Yeah we're shooting stars

We're shooting stars

(fade out)
