Aeroplanes And Stars

C G Am F C G Am F C G Am F It wasn’t all that long ago that you sat weaving dreams C G Am F But things don’t look so rosy now you’re this side of eighteen C G Am F It wasn’t all that long ago you gazed up at the stars C G Am F And smiled because you know just who you are. C G Am F But suddenly the good time’s gone and I just don’t know why C G Am F And where did all the good times go, they never said goodbye C G Am F Well there’s too much damned pollution here and I don’t see no stars C G Am F Look in the mirror, say I don’t know who you are. Am F G But you’ve had much colder nights Am F G And things will be alright C Alright Link G Am F C G Am F And is it meant to set me free to know you’re leaving town C G Am F To have no fear, you’ll disappear, and I won’t see you around C G Am F Well it doesn’t make me happy and it doesn’t make me smile C G Am F Because my heart don’t take no notice of the miles C G Am F And you can call me stupid and you can call me naïve, C G Am F But I don’t think that things will be that different when you leave C G Am F I’ve had you sitting next to me and being miles away C G Am F I think I’ll be no better off if you would stay. Am F G If I got down on my knees Am F G Asked you to set me free C You’d say no C G Am F So take me and break me darling, do what you will C G Am F Feed upon my dignity and leave me with the bill, C G Am F If we’re honest, you never really did anything else C G Am F But you’re my kryptonite, and that’s something I can’t help. C G Am F But I’ll get strong and I’ll move on without too many scars, C G Am F Learn to tell the difference between aeroplanes and stars, C G Am F You’d get old and still more cold and see the reason that you hid C G Am F Was I loved you in a way that no one did Am F G If I cried my eyes red raw Am F G Til I could cry no more C And what for? C G Am F It wasn’t all that long ago you understood the rules C G Am F Of love and life and unrequited underdogs and fools C G Am F But that was all before the last rule left you on the floor C G Am F And you don’t understand a thing anymore Am F G But you played the cards you’re dealt Am F G However hard it felt Am A G And you smiled into the sky Am F G As she began to cry C G And you knew why Am G And you knew why C G Am F C
