[Verse 1]
Em
Rain keeps beating on our
 C                     G
rooftop, muddying the glass
                     C
But, God, I love the sound
of Heaven
Em                       C
Sat cross legg-ed on the carpet
             G
Listening to vinyl,
             C
 trying to ignore the weather

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em
 This week was heavy,
   C
I buckled under all the weight
G                    D
 What can you do but pray?
Em
 And count your blessings
    C
 it wasn't any other way
G                     D     D
 Don't leave it up to fate
[Chorus 1]
           Em           G
Follow the tide but the waves,
           D     D
 they will part
             Em
Light up the night,
         G           D
we were meant to be stars
       C          C
But it burns like Hell
       C     C
to be Vega

[Verse 2]
Em
Clouds keep falling over
 C
 this house blocking
         G
out the sun
                  C
I'm tryna keep it all
together
Em                       C
One door closes then one opens,
                G
 gotta keep the focus
                      C
If we'll believe then she'll
get better

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em
 The days are long but
     C
they pass within an instant,
 babe
G                    D
 It is the strangest thing
Em                         C
 I count my blessings, the day
I see you smile again
G                      D     D
 This war we've got to win

[Chorus 2]
          Em
Keep it inside,
           G
 no matter what,
          D      D
 see your heart
           Em
No one can judge,
           G
 we're the same
        D     D
 in the dark

           Em
Follow the tide,
         G
 but the waves,
           D     D
 they will part
             Em
Light up the night,
         G           D
 we were meant to be stars
       C          C
But it burns like Hell
       C      C
 to be Vega

[Bridge]
Am             G
 Same problems, different
options
Em               D
 Pain comes at a cost,
but we've got this
Am            G
 Need respite, bleed
 time dry
Em
 She'll be fine,
 D
 she'll be fine
Am             G
 Same problems, different
 options
Em               D
 Pain comes at a cost,
 but we've got this
Am            G
 Need respite, bleed time dry
Em
 She'll be fine,
D               D
 she'll be fine

[Outro]
Em
Rain keeps beating
       C
on the rooftop,
              G
 pouring into death
                C
I guess this is human nature
Em
We are made to shine
      C
like stars
but that don't mean
      G
it don't burn
      C
Like Hell to be Vega
