Title: “Stars N’ Scars”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Looking through the [G] windowpane,
[Am] Stars and scars are [F] all the same.
[C] Trapped in moments [G] of the past,
[Am] Dancing shadows [F] won’t outlast.

(Chorus)
[C] We’re the dreamers [G] of the night,
[Am] Chasing stars till [F] morning light.
[C] Bearing stars n’ [G] scars of our plight,
[Am] In the end, we’ll [F] be alright.

(Verse 2)
[C] Cracked mirrors [G] tell no lies,
[Am] See the world in [F] broken eyes.
[C] Haunting melodies [G] replay,
[Am] The music never [F] fades away.

(Chorus)
[C] We’re the dreamers [G] of the night,
[Am] Chasing stars till [F] morning light.
[C] Bearing stars n’ [G] scars of our plight,
[Am] In the end, we’ll [F] be alright.
