Can't always count on the prayers in your sleep
C Bb add C/F F
But this cold light still kil-------ling me
If I pay the ransom well can they guarantee
Am Bb add C
To split the chains, slip the knots?
Don't know if they'll every set you free.
Just can't rely on all these twisted signs.
Too many bright lights turn you blind.
The history of the blues seems to swim in your eyes.
Pick yourself up, through your head back,
Take a long, long look into the sky.
Are you out there?
Are you listening?
Am I coming acro--ss to you?
Is the North Star still shining
In the sky outside your room?
You can listen,
But they're lying.
Don't let them tell you what you've always known.
Yeah, it's the North Star that's the big one
And it's always gonna lead you home.
Can't always agree on all my dumb ideas.
I'm still looking for a way out of here.
You can value what you want but you pay for change.
There's full moons, cloudless nights,
Tumbled stars spelling out your name.
Close your eyes, take a ride,
Think of every time you've missed out.
Click your heals, see how it feels.
Something so childish sometimes seems so real.
Yeah, it's the North Star that's the big one
And it's always gonna lead you home
Yeah, it's the North Star that's the big one
And it's always gonna lead you home
Yeah, it's the North Star that's the big one
And it's always gonna lead you home
