D#        A#/D#
Oh my love
        G#                D#
I have cursed the stars above
      A#      F       A#  A#/G#
That lead my heart to you

Chorus:
       D#/G        G#
But as hard as I try
          A#   G/B      Cm  G#m
Still my love will not die
         D#/A#       A#        G#   D# F
And the stars still shine on through
         D#/A#       A#        G#   D#
And the stars still shine on through

Oh my dear
Now this ship's too hard to steer
The tide has turned, turned on you

Chorus:
I have been through the lies
That I've seen in your eyes
But the truth still shines on through
But the truth it still shines, shines on through

 C# G#               A#         D#
So shine, shine on through the days we have to fill
Gm/D   Gm Cm            A# G#
Though we took our love so daringly
     A#    G/B   Cm
And gave it up uncaringly
           F7                            A#
There are feelings left not even we can kill

Oh my friend
So at last we reach the end
The lights go down on cue

Chorus:
I have wasted my time
But it tasted oh so fine
That my love still shines, shines on through
And my love still shines, shines on you
