 F
Cold fire, you've got everything
     Dm      F7
but cold fire
                         A
You will be my rest and peace child
                       C
I moved up to take a place near you

So tired, it's the sky that makes you
feel tried
It's a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heart in pieces

Chorus:
 A#                   Am
Staying back in your memory
        D#             F
Are the movies in the past
Gm
How you moved is all it takes
    C              A#
To sing a song of when I loved
A
The Prettiest Star

One day though it might
as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The Prettiest Star

Chorus

One day though it might
as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are

                F
The Prettiest Star
