[Verse 1]
Gm                  Bm
If you look towards heaven
Cm           D7
On any given night
Gm                   B7
You may see the stars glowing
Cm            D7
Shining ever-bright
Gm              Bm7
Are they really shining
Cm                D7
Or just burning in the sky?
Eb                         F
Well, maybe they're a little bit
                  G
of both at the same time, ha

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
Have you ever loved somebody
Cm                 D7
And felt so good it hurt?
Gm                 G
But then they went running
Cm                      D7
When you dug up all their dirt
Gm
Was it only lust
Cm                D7
Or is love also a curse?
Eb                        F
Maybe they're a little bit
                  G
of both in reverse

[Chorus]
Eb                 D7
How come some days you're living
Gm                    G7
And other days it's dеath?
Ebmaj7   Eb                D7
How come everything that's givеn
G                      Bb7
Somehow always leaves a debt?
Ebmaj7                Eb
How come joy needs sorrow
              D7
and reason don't rhyme?
Gm
Until you're horizontal,
          G7
life ain't a straight line, yeah
Eb           F
Maybe we're all a little bit
        N.C.
of everything combined

[Verse 2]
Gm
Feeling like Superman
Cm                  D7
But I don't got no cape to fly, ha
Gm
Wanna push against the atmosphere
Cm            D7
And leave gravity defied
Gm            G7
But is it really flying
Cm            D7
Or is falling redefined? Ha
Eb
Well, maybe it could be a bit
       F            G
of both at the same time

How come everything we're given
Gm                      Bb7
Somehow always leaves a debt?
Eb                 D7
How come joy needs sorrow and
reason don't rhyme?
Gm
Until you're horizontal, life
            G7
