F*                         Em*   
 To say it was a different walk in 
                                Dm/F                Am
a different walk in a different park is what it wasâ?¨
F*                                                     Em*

               Dm/F                              C/G
But you donâ??t feed them something then that you mean

                             Dm                Am                 G

               Dm/F                              C/G

Listen, that stuff itâ??s not wrong cause itâ??s your songâ?¨, so lights off


Outro (same chords as chorus):

(starts with a little instrumental where you have to screw around with the notes on the high e and B string)
C/G /  G   / Fmaj7  /  C   /
Dm  /  Am  /  G     /  G   /
 

kind of like this:
 
    G     then:   C/G      G         F(maj7)/A     C       //  Dm           Am          G         (x2)

2x:
             C/G      G                        
The falling star you saw that was something common
Fmaj7                                C 
     â?¨These moments are your life, acknowledge themâ?¨
      Dm                       Am                              G    
Itâ??s easier to fall if youâ??re closer to the floor, but thatâ??s all

finally:
       C/G         G         
She's been there, seen it allâ?¨
Fmaj7/A          C
Thatâ??s not your faultâ?¨
      Dm         Am                   G 
Itâ??s your song playing though â?¨Lights off
