[Verse 1]
G           Bm
  On that day
  Em                 D
I watched you walk away
       C                 C
I just waved my hand and said
     Cm                 Cm
"Goodbye", the same as always
 
G         Bm
  Days go on
    Em            D
And still I wish upon
    C
The same bright star
     Cm              G   G
That shines so far away
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
      G
To believe
    D/F#              Em  D
In something we call love
           C
Means your heart is strong
        C              Cm    Cm
It will never lead you wrong
 
        Em       D                   Bm   A
One day soon my dreams will all come true
           Am
Until then I'll wake up
           Am
Though you won't be there
            Am
I will keep smiling
       Am            D          D
'Cause I haven't forgotten you
 
 
[Chorus]
             C                D
I just wanna be the star you look to
   Bm               Em
No matter where you are
       C             B             G         G7/B
Let me be the one to wipe away all of your pain
            C                  D                   B7          Em   D
So whenever you look up you'll know that you will never be all alone
     Am            D         G   G7/B
Even if you are so very far away
       Am               D            C    C
Let me be the arms you call home one day

[Verse 2]
G         D/F#
  In this town
   Em              D
Is still where I remain
       C               C
I live as if nothing's wrong
    Cm             Cm
And act like I can feel no pain
 
G     D/F#
  I believe
    Em                D
And pray I'll see you soon
     C
To believe it's true
   Cm             G   G
Is all that I can do
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
     Em       D             C   C
Everything happens for a reason
           Am
Though the seasons change
  D             G      G
I pray you stay safe, yeah
 
     Em     D                    Bm   G7/F
Even if all your dreams start to fade
               C                      D
It might feel hopeless, but keep your head held high
           C
All of the tears we'll cry
     C#dim        D         D
I'll always be by your side
 
 
[Chorus]
              C             D
It's okay to cry because it hurts more
        Bm               Em
To hold back all of your tears
         C                B
Let your tired heart find rest
         Em            F
Until tomorrow's light
                   C
All throughout the night you'll sleep
D                Bm           Em        D
Dreaming of the sunrise that awaits you
        Am             D             G   G7
Like we used to do as children long ago
 
 
[Bridge]
            B
Though this world is vast
      B              Em            G
We're all connected under the same sky
        Am               Am                D             D
All the stars that hang over me and the clouds passing by
          D          Am  Bm C  D
I'll keep you by my side

[Chorus]
C5               C5           B5               N.C.
Can you hear my voice as I am screaming out my heart?
          C             D            D#dim Em             D#dim
You're so far away, but can my voice reach where you are?
             C               D
I just wanna be the star you look to
   Bm               Em
No matter where you are
       C             B             G          B
Let me be the one to wipe away all of your pain
            C                  D                  Bm            Em  D
So whenever you look up you'll know that you will never be all alone
     Am             D        G   G7/F
Even if you are so very far away
       C                D             G
Let me be the arms you call home one day
 
 
[Outro]
       C                D            G
Let me be the arms you call home one day
