STARS CHORDS

[Start]

[Verse]
D                   A 
Stars they come and go
                         C   
They come fast they come slow
                 B7                             Em   
They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze
               A7   
All you see is glory
D                        Dbm7                         Gb7  
But it gets lonely there when there's no one there to share
                 Em7  Asus4                        A7
You can shake it away      if you'll hear a story  
       D                  A             Gbm 
People lust for fame like athletes in a game
D7                  D                       B7       Em
  They break their collarbones and come up swinging  
Em7                         
   Some of them are crowned
             Asus4     
Some of them are downed
G                         Em7   Asus4
 Some are lost and never found     
A A7                       D  
   But most have seen it all
Gbm                          D7        B7  Em7        
   They live their lives in sad cafés and music halls
                       Asus4
And they always have a story
A7 A           A7              D    
   Some make it when they're young
Gb7                           Bm       
Before the world has done its dirty job
    G                  Em7     
And  later on someone will say
                                      Asus4 Em7
You've had your day now you must make way     
Asus4 Asus4            
     Don't they always
A          A7             D             A                     
But you'll never know the pain of using a name you never owned
E7        Em7                          Asus4        
  Or the years of forgetting what you know too well
     D                           Dbm               C           Em7   
That you who gave the crown have been let down you try to make amends


[Chorus]
        Asus4             D           
Without defending perhaps  pretending
A                   C                               B7
 You never saw the eyes of young men in twentyfive  


[Intro]
                                       Em7       
Who followed as you walked and ask for autographs
                         Em
Or kiss you on the cheek  
Em7                                         Asus4          
   And you never could believe they really loved you never
A           A7              D  
 Some make it when they're old
A                                                B7  
 Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
Em7 Em Em7 G Em
          
                           Em7   Asus4 Em7
Or perhaps there's nothing there        


[Verse]
A                                       A7  D
 But anyway that isn't what I meant to say 
D                              
I'm meant to tell about a story
Dbm                       Gbm
Since we all have stories   
B7                             
  But can't remember it anyway
Em7                                    Asus4                     
   So I'll tell about the mood that's in the United States today
            Asus4                    D
Impermeable even Switzerland it goes 


[Intro]

[Verse]
D7                                         G       
  But I'll continue anyway until I get it together
C Em Em7                                        
   Some women have a body men will want to see
Asus4 Em7 A Asus4
             
                                             A7   D     
So they put it on display some people play a fine guitar
A                        Amaj7    A   C A
 I could listen to them play all day  
B7                Em Em7                       Asus4
  But anyway way   but I'm trying to tell my story
A     D                    Bm7
Janis will do it very well   


[Chorus]
                          Bm     Em7
Janis Joplin told it even better   
       Asus4                            D
Billie Holiday even told it even better 
          A           Bm7                  Em7  
We always  we always    we always have a story


[Inst]

[Outro]
           Em7                                                          
The latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
               Em7                                                          
And the latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
                                        N.C.                                
And the latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
N.C.                                            
And the latest story that I know is the one that
