 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
 C#sus                      Ebsus       Esus                     F#sus       
  Don't keep it tied with a simple lock, You think it's ordinary but it's not
 
 Chorus:
 
 Bsus4           F#sus   
  And maybe this  life is
 Abm7        E                     
  Just about love and tenderness if
 E       F#sus    E         F#sus 
  All we are, are shooting stars
 Bsus4         F#sus          
  And maybe we  we can't fight
 Abm7         E                     
  All of this pain and loneliness if
 E       F#sus    E         F#sus 
  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
 C#sus                    Ebsus      Esus                            F#sus      
  Free your mind let your heart sing, And just remember that they're only things
 
 Repeat Chorus
 
 Bridge:
 
 Abm7        F#sus            
  I used to live by the minute
 E                    F#sus 
  I was too blind to see
 Abm7               F#sus             
  Now I found the strength to admit it
          E              F#sus        
 Now it's all I believe, please please
