[Intro]
G4 Gm11 G4 Gm11
[Verse 1]
G4 Gsus7
\”Look out the left\”, the Captain said,
G4 Gsus7 G
\”The lights down there, that\’s where we\’ll land!\”
G C G C
I saw a falling …star burn up,
G C Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Above the Las Vegas sands
[Verse 2]
G4 Gsus7
It wasn\’t the one that you gave to me,
G4 Gsus7 G
That night down south between the trail – ers,
G C G C
Not the early one that you can wish upon,
G C G Cadd9 G
Not the northern one that guides in the sail – ors
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 Am11
Oh, star bright, star bright,
Cadd9 G
You\’ve got the loving that I like, alright,
Gmaj7 Am11
Turn this crazy bird around,
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I… shouldn\’t have got on this flight to – night

G Dsus7 G Cadd9 G Cadd9
G Dsus7 G Cadd9 G
[Verse 3]
G4 Gsus7
You got that look so gentle and sweet, but…
G4 Gsus7
…You\’ve got the look so critical,
G C G C
Now, I …can\’t talk to you, baby, I get so weak,
G C G Cadd9 G
Sometimes I think that love is just …mythi – cal
[Verse 4]
G4 Gsus7
Up there\’s a heaven, down there\’s a town,
G4 * Gsus7 *
Blackness everywhere, and little lights shine,
G C G C
Oh, blackness, black – ness, dragging me down,
G C G Cadd9 G
Come on, light the candle in this poor heart of mine
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 Am11
Oh, star bright, star bright,
Cadd9 G
You\’ve got the loving that I like, alright,

[Verse 5]
G4 Gsus7
I\’m drinking sweet champagne, got the headphones up high,
G4 Gsus7
Can\’t …numb you out, can\’t drum you out of my mind,
G C G C G
They\’re playing, \’Good bye, ba – by! Baby, good bye!
C G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Oo – oo, love is blind!\’
[Verse 6]
G4 Gsus7
Up go the flaps, down go the wheels,
G4 Gsus7
I hope you got your heat turned on, baby,
G C G C
I …hope they finally fixed your automobile,
G C G Cadd9 G
I hope it\’s better when we meet a – gain, baby
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 Am11
Star bright, star bright,
Cadd9 G
You\’ve got the loving that I like, al – right,
Gmaj7 Am11
Turn this crazy bird around,
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Shouldn\’t have got on this flight to – night
