[Intro]
Dm
Am G F C
Dm
Am G F C


[Verse 1]
        Dm
We were something I see once, people stop and stare
                Am                   G          F
Look at us, sho-shooting through the sky like a summer flare
C                   Dm
Burnin' through the August night, I still have you memorized
                Am            G            F
God, I think we almost had it all until we fucked it up
C              Dm
So you gave me back my keys, gave you back your shirt
                          Am           G                    F
There's a thousand little pieces of us scattered 'cross the universe
C            Dm
Lying on the yellow lawn, haunted by the song
                      E
Baby, don't you wanna sing along?


[Chorus]
                                   F                Dm
Yeah, don't you wanna dance in the stardust that we left behind
       Am            G
In the stardust on a lonely night?
       F               Dm                Am G
It was magic, just the two of us and the star
       F             Dm
In the garden, as it turns to dusk
       Am              G
In the garden, I still picture us
       F               Dm                Am G F    Dm
It was magic, just the two of us and the star-dust


[Post-Chorus]
        Am G
And the star


[Verse 2]
        G
We were somewhere in Vermont, seeing evergreen
               Am           G              F
You had such a funny way of looking at the little things
C                    Dm
Flipping through the storybook, found the page we started on
                 Am            G
We don't have to read the end again

[Chorus]
           E                            F                Dm
But, baby, don't you wanna dance in the stardust that we left behind
       Am            G
In the stardust on a lonely night?
       F               Dm                Am G
It was magic, just the two of us and the star
       F             Dm
In the garden, as it turns to dusk
       Am              G
In the garden, I still picture us
       F               Dm                Am G F
It was magic, just the two of us and the star-dust


[Post-Chorus]
     Dm
(Ooh-ooh)
        Am G F
And the star-dust
     Dm
(Ooh-ooh)
        Am G
And the star—


[Bridge]
F                 Dm
Hold me, spin me, make me dizzy
Am              G
Say you miss me too
F                 Dm
Hold me, spin me, make me dizzy
Am              G
Say you want it too


[Chorus]
                       F                Dm
And we'll dance in the stardust that we left behind
       Am            G
In the stardust on a lonely night?
       F               Dm                Am G
It was magic, just the two of us and the star
       F             Dm
In the garden, as it turns to dusk
       Am              G
In the garden, I still picture us
       F               Dm                Am G F    Dm
It was magic, just the two of us and the star-dust


[Post-Chorus]
     Dm
(Ooh-ooh)
        Am G F
And the star-dust
     Dm
(Ooh-ooh)
        Am G
And the star

The progression the song keeps returning to is Dm – Am – G – F (ii – vi – V – IV in C major). In solfa, that is reh – lah – soh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
