[Verse 3]
Bm
Pull up to the station see her face in all the magazines
G
Sitting on the sofa tryna drink away the memory
Bm
Right about now I start to wonder if she thinks of me
G
Wonder if she thinks of me
Bm
First time that I met her didn’t think that we would get along
G
Not until she told me “Billy Jean” was her favorite song
Bm
From that day I knew that she was all that I could ever want
G
All that I could ever want

[Chorus]

Bm
And the city burns

With a fire that glows all night

How to play A Million Stars: key, chords and progression

A Million Stars by The Faim is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 5 chords: D, Bm, F#m, G and A.

Most of the song cycles through G – D – A – Bm (IV – I – V – vi in D major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
