E E/G# Seen a shooting star tonight A E And I thought of you E E/G# You were trying to break into another world A A world I never knew A B I always kind of wondered E A if you ever made it through E E/G# Seen a shooting star tonight A E And I thought of you. Seen a shooting star tonight And I thought of me If I was still the same If I ever became what you wanted me to be Did I miss the mark or overstep the line that only you could see Seen a shooting star tonight And I thought of me. Chorus: C#m Listen to the engine listen to the bell As the last firetruck from hell A B E goes rolling by, all good people are praying C#m It's the last temptation the last account The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount A B The last radio is playing. Seen a shooting star tonight slip away Tomorrow will be another day Guess it's too late to say the things to you that you needed to hear me say Seen a shooting star tonight slip away.
