Dmaj7      D#dim
You are far When I could have been your star
Em7
You listened to people
    A#7                      A7
Who scared you to death and from my heart
Dmaj7
Strange that you were strong enough
   D#dim
To even make a start
           Em7
But you'll never find Peace of mind Til you
A#7             A7
listen to your heart

Chorus:
Dmaj7  D#dim                              Em7
People  You can never change the way they feel
A#7              A7
Better let them do just what they
D D/C         B7+
will    For they will
       Em7
If you let them
           A7
Steal your heart from you
Dmaj7 D#dim                     Em7
People Will always make a lover feel a fool
A#7      A7          D D/C
But you knew I loved you
   B7+                   Em7
We could have shown them all
   A#7         A7        Dmaj7  C7 Dmaj7 Bm7
We should have seen love through

Em7                              A7
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Em7                        A7
Covered me with kisses and lies
   Dm7
So goodbye
    G7                  Cmaj7 A7
But please don't take my heart

You are far
I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the pieces and mend my heart
Maybe I'll be strong enough
I don't know where to start
But I'll never find peace of mind
While I listen to my heart

Chorus:
People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them steal your heart from you
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through

Em7
But remember this Every other kiss
A#7
That you ever give Long as we both live
Dmaj7
When you need the hand of another man
        F#m7     B7+
One you really can surrender with
       Em7
I will wait for you Like I always do
        A#7
There's something there
     Dmaj7    Bm7       Em7       A7
That can't compare with any other

You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death and from my heart
Strange that I was wrong enough
To think you'd love me too
Guess you were kissing a fool

You must have been kissing a fool
