[Intro]
C      F      G      Em
C      F      G      Em
Am     G      F      F

[Verse 1]
C                      F
 There's a light going out
 tonight
        G
Driving fast
         Em
Flashing lines
C                     F
 It's too late now to say
 goodbye
               G
The stars were there
       Em
In our eyes

[Chorus]
C              F
 When you were mine
                   G
We fell across the sky
Em                      C
 Backlit up against the wall
                 Fmaj7
Out there on the run
                    G6
You're not the only one
                Em
Shadow from the sun

[Verse 2]
C                     F
 Somewhere out on the radio
        G
Look up high
           Em
Now you're gone
C                     F
 I see it now in this photograph
          G
Something good
               Em
Never meant to last
Am
 I don't wanna know
          G
 how the story ends
     F          F
From now to then

[Chorus]
C              F
 When you werе mine
                   G
We fell across thе sky

 It may be out of sight
                  C
 but never out of mind
                 F
Out there on the run
                    G
You're not the only one
                Em
Shadow from the sun
                       Am
Backlit up against the wall

How to play Superstar: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Superstar by Beach House on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Superstar by Beach House is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 8 chords: C, F, G, Em, Am, Fmaj7, G6 and Bm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – F – G – Em (I – IV – V – iii in C major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – soh – mi. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, F, G6 and Bm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
