Nina Simone - Stars

^DStars, they come and go.^F#m They come fast, they come slow.^F#m They go like the ^Cmlast light of the s^B7un, All in a bl^Emaze. And all you see is ^Aglory. But it gets l^Donely there, When there's ^C#no one there to s^Gbhare. We can s^Emhake it away, If you'll hear a ^Astory. People lust^D for fame,^A Like athletes^D7 in a game^D. ^Bm7We break our collarbones, And come up s^Em7winging. Some of us are ^A7crowned, Some of us are d^Aowned Some are l^Emost and never ^A7found. But most have seen it ^Dall. ^F#mThey live their Lives, In sad caf^Des and music h^Em7alls They always have a s^Atory Some make it when they ^Dare young, Bef^F#more the world has done its ^Bmdirty job. ^GAnd later on ^Em7someone will say, "You've had your day^A7, now you must mak^Ae way." But they'll never know the ^Dpain Of living with a ^F#mname you never owned. ^Em7The years of forg^A7etting, What you k^Anow too well- That you who gave the c^Drown, Have been let ^F#mdown. You try to m^Bm7ake amen^Em7ds Without ^A7defending Perhaps p^Dretending ^AYou never saw the eyes Of young men at twenty-^B7five,

Asked for autogr^Em7aphs, Kissed you on the cheek. And you never could believe^A,

Some make it when they're o^Dld ^F#mPerhaps they have a so^B7ul they're unafraid to b^Em7are. Perhaps there's nothing th^A7ere. ^ABut anyway that isn't what i meant to s^Day

^Cmsince we all have ^F#mstories ^B7I can't remember it anyways ^Em7So I'll tell about the mood ^A7in the in United States today

It Goes^D ... ^D7But I continue anyway til I get it togethe^Gr ^{Em Em7}Some women have a body, ^A7Men will want to see ^ASo they put it on display, Some people play a fine ^Dguitar. ^AI could listen to them play all day. ^{C B7}But anyway, ^EmI'm trying to tell my st^Aory. Janis ^DIan told it very well, ^BmJanis Joplin told it even better,^Em Billy Holida^Em7y even told it even ^Abetter. ^DWe always, ^Awe always, ^Bm7we always have a ^Em7story.

and the ^Emlatest story that I know is the one that i'm supposed to go out with and the ^A7latest story that I know is the one that i'm supposed to go out with
