Opening 
(Riff 1) 

verse 1 
         F#m              A 
You’re a shooting star 
      Bm             D 
We’re in your constellation 
          F#m             A 
No matter where you are 
    Bm          D 
You know we are waiting 
        F#m               A 
Soon we come for you 
      Bm          D 
While everyone is sleeping 
      F#m                 A 
Gonna take you through 
    Bm             D 
The gift is in the giving    (Riff 1 comes in) 

  F#m               A               Bm 
Inside of you with all your lies 
D           F#m 
Nettles and vines 
A           Bm      D 
Nettles and vines 


Pre-Chorus 1 
Bm7        A          F#m 
Shadows fall on these broken days 
     Bm7        A 
If I wait for you 
F#m 
I'm your slave, I'm your slave 


Chorus 1 
D          Bm 
  I give I bleed 
         F#m 
I try it again 
            (F#m) 
But I could never remember 

D            Bm 
  We fell so hard 
         F#m 
Onto the ground 
       (F#m)             D  
But we never surrender       (Riff 2 comes in) 
   Bm          F#m 
We never surrender 
   (F#m) 
We never surrender 


verse 2 
           F#m            A 
I know the enemy 
           Bm           D 
I know the one I keep inside 
       F#m                A 
It’s a feeling 
Bm         D 
Help us to survive 
          F#m             A 
See my fingers 
Bm       D 
See my bones 
         F#m              A 
I walk a thousand miles 
     Bm       D 
On a chemical road           (Riff 1 comes in) 

  F#m               A               Bm 
Inside of you with all my lies 
D           F#m 
Nettles and vines 
A           Bm      D 
Nettles and vines 


Pre-Chorus 2 
Bm7        A          F#m 
Shadows fall on these broken days 
    Bm7        A 
You look so good 
F#m 
As my slave, as my slave 


Chorus 2 
D          Bm 
  I give I bleed 
         F#m 
I try it again 
            (F#m) 
But I could never remember 

D            Bm 
  We fell so hard 
         F#m 
Onto the ground 
       (F#m)             D  
But we never surrender       (Riff 2 comes in) 
   Bm          F#m 
We never surrender 
   (F#m) 
We never surrender 


Bridge 
E2      Bm    D2 
  To be born again 
             (D) 
There’s been so much living 
E2        Bm          D2      (D) 
  Take it back to the start 


verse 3 (Bass only) 
         F#m              A 
You’re a shooting star 
      Bm             D 
We’re in your constellation 
          F#m             A 
No matter where you are 
    Bm          D         (Silence) 
You know we are waiting 

Waiting
