     D
The furthest star in the sky
      Bm
Well that's the one that passed me by
   F#m
I tried to wish upon that star
    G
It didn't get me very far
    D
It fell on empty ears
    Bm
It fell on empty hearts
        F#m                G
And my dreams, they fell apart

            A                F#m     Bm
I'm always wishing I was someone else
            A                F#m    Bm
I'm always hoping I can sell myself

Chorus:
      D                       Bm
But I'll be free for what I believe
            F#m                     G
And I won't sell my soul just to achieve my goal
      D                         Bm
And I've been holding back the tears,
                    F#m
dreaming all these years
       G
And I sing from the heart if you listen to me
A                            D
Everything I do is what I believe

The lights went out across the world
And your house of cards came tumbling down
'Cause nothing stays and noting sticks
When you're roaming with the lunatics
But my star in the darkest sky
Twinkles and watches while the other stars die
Upon your empty ears
And empty hearts

I'm always wishing
I was someone else
But I've given up the ghost
I will never sell myself

Chorus

The furthest star in the sky
Well that's the one that passed me by
I tried to wish upon that star
It didn't get me very far
