D            Em        G
Knock on my door, boy come home
                D
You stay in my head
          Em               G
Lay in my arms, why won't you?
           D
It's been way too long
Em        G
What you waiting on?
                        D
Cause I've been laying here
                  Em              G
Learning what the memories won't do

Chorus:
       Em                  G
See I need you and baby I need to
             D                      A
Let down my guard and give you my scars
            Em
Open up my heart
              G
We could be stars...
              D   Em G
We could be stars...
              D   Em G
We could be stars...

Rap on my window, come home
It's been a while, so stick around, why don't you?
'Til the end of time, say that you'll be mine
An uphill climb, fighting what the heart really wants to do

Chorus:
See, I need you and sometimes we need to
Shed our facade and be just who we are
All broken and torn
Then we could be stars
Oh, we could be stars
We could be stars

Em                      G
Piercing lights in the dark
                 Em
Make the galaxy ours
                        G
Kingdom right where we are
                     C
Shining bright as a morning
                 B
You'll never be lonely
                     A#
Just promise you'll love me
               A
I'm never too far
                 G#m
And we'll never part
                  G
And we could be stars

And we could be stars
Oh, we could be stars
We could be stars
Oh, we could be stars

Just find a way to get home
There's space in my heart, open arms for you to run to
Baby, close your eyes and take the leap
to make-believe in fairytales
I'll meet you there, oh yeah, I'll fall too

Chorus:
See, I've wanted you here all along but my fear
Just keeps haunting me, won't let me go
So, it's hard to say "I love you"
We could be stars
Oh, we could be stars
We could be stars
We could be stars
