First Aid Kit - Distant star

Well, a ^Ggoodbye never seems finished Just like these ^Csongs that I ^Gwrite ^EmThey hang aloft like ^Cstars in the night 'Til ^Emthere's nothing left but the ill^Cusion of light And ^Dyou^C, you could've been mi^Emne Your ^Gmother, she's an actress And we're all^C putting on the ^Gplay ^EmGive some conviction, pret^Cend it's all real ^EmTry to ignore how ^Csad it all feels Yes, ^Dtry not to ^Cbreak her heart if you ^Emcan

Hold o-o-^Co-n To whatever you can until it's ^Emgone Carry o-o-^Co-n For none of us will be here for too ^Dlo^C-o^G-o-ng

I'll ^Gtry not to let the world and its ^Cdarkness bring me ^Gdown ^EmThink of the love and the ^Cbeauty I've found ^EmThe simple things that ^CI've left behind ^DOh the way ^Che'd make me ^Emlaugh

But I'll hold o-o-^Co-n To whatever I can until it's g^Emone I'll carry o-o-^Co-n For none of us will be here for too ^Dlo^C-ong, ^Dlo^C-o^G-o-ng

^E But you're a distant ^Fstar ^E My darling, you're so ^Ffar awa^Ey You were never meant to ^Fstay^E I reach out to ^Fsee ^E If you're still here with ^Fme ^E Babe we could've ^Fmade it ea^Csy Couldn't ^Gwe?

Now ^GI will never know you You are just ^Csomeone passing ^Gby And ^Emit makes me sad ^Cto think about All the ^Emstories and fates that ^CI'll be without But I ^Dthink I'm getting used to the silence now
