      G 
Hehehehehey 
      Am 
Hohohoooo 

Instrumental: 
Am Dm G Am 

 
Am                      Dm 
You can't build love on lies 

It breaks the second truth walks in 
G 
   But damn I still wish you'd stayed long enough 
Am 
   To hear the wreckage sing 
                             Dm 
You were the finest arranged stardust 
                           G 
I ever had the luck to find 
                        Am 
A constellation dressed as a woman 

Drawin' maps inside my mind 
                               Dm 
But I mistook your silence for safety 
                       G 
Took your laughter for a sign 
                       Am 
And built a future on a whisper 

That was never really mine 
                                        Dm 
There's nothin' lonelier than a crowded room 
                                  G 
When it's your name my pulse repeats 

Everyone talkin' life and hope 
        Am 
But all I hear is your retreat 
 

 
                                      Dm 
Yeah, I begged the universe to forget you 
                                 G 
But it just smirks and lets me burn 

Every star I try to walk past 
                       Am 
Still spells your name in its return 

Stardust 
                               Dm 
Why'd you light my sky just to let it fall apart? 
G 
Stardust 
                        Am 
You put galaxies in me, now there's a crater in my heart 

And I keep walkin' through this hell 
                      Dm 
'Cause stoppin' hurts a thousand times more 
G 
Stardust 
                 Am 
You were the fire I wasn't built for  

Solo: 
Am Dm G Am 

 
                            Dm 
I used to think love was salvation 
                                     G 
But maybe it's a beautiful mental disease 

The kind that dresses like freedom 
        Am 
Then handcuffs you to your knees 

I talk less now 
             Dm 
The world mistook my quiet for peace 
          G 
But the ones who see both sides of the wall 
          Am 
Are rarely the ones who speak 
 

 
Too much in my mind 
    Dm 
And nothin' left to say 
    G 
Just echoes of what could've been 
    Am 
If truth hadn't lost its way 

I miss the stars you put in my sky 
    Dm 
Even though I know they were borrowed light 
    G 
But pain don't care about logic 
    Am 
It just wants someone to fight  


Stardust 
                       Dm 
Why'd you light my sky just to let it fall apart? 
G 
Stardust 
                                Am 
You carved your universe in the softest part of my heart 
           Gm              Am 
And I keep walkin' through this fire 
                                Dm 
'Cause somehow hope still knows my name 
G 
Stardust 
              Am 
Nothin's ever burned the same 

Slowly picking up: 
                               F 
If you're goin' through hell  keep goin' 
   G 
Yeah I whisper it to myself every night 
Am 
'Cause grief is just love with nowhere to go 
        E              Em 
And I'm still learnin' how to let go right 

Faster again: 
Am 
Stardust 
                                 Dm 
You were the comet that split my chest in two 
G 
Stardust 
                           Am 
I'll still look up, even if the sky ain't you 
          G            Am 
I'll walk this heaven, I'll walk this hell 
                     Dm             Am 
I'll rise from every flame I crossed 
G 
Stardust 
                      E7 
You were the universe 
                        Am 
And the universe I lost 

Slowly picking up: 
C                      F 
   But I'm still here 
G 
   And the niiiiiiiight 
Gm                Am 
   still listens 
Dm                 G              Am 
Hehehehey
