C
Grandpa sold the house because the business failed
Am
He said rock bottom is just solid ground to start again
F
When life ain't nothing like a fairy tale
G
We just gotta work and hope and pray and say amen

[Chorus]
F                          G
It's gotta get dark enough
                   C
For you to see the stars
F          G                 C
Shine like diamonds on black velvet
F              G
Love is just a word
C                                      Am
Until you felt it even when life falls apart
G                           D/F#
Strong enough to break your heart
F
It's gotta get dark enough
G
For you to see the stars

[Verse 2]
C
Darkness fell on me when I lost my dad
Am
Girl you were the light that got me through
F
You walked right beside me down that road to hell and back
G
And in that midnight hour I fell in love with you

[Chorus]
F                          G
It's gotta get dark enough
                   C
For you to see the stars
F          G                 C
Shine like diamonds on black velvet
F              G
Love is just a word
C                                      Am
Until you felt it even when life falls apart
G                           D/F#
Strong enough to break your heart
F                          G
It's gotta get dark enough
                   C
For you to see the stars

[Bridge]
F
Staring at the sky tonight
G             Am
Never felt so alive
F
Sometimes the lights have to go out
                           D/F#
For you to see what life's about

[Outro]
F                          G
It's gotta get dark enough
                   C
For you to see the stars
C                     Am
Moving like a work of art
G                           D/F#
Strong enough to break your heart
F                          G
It's gotta get dark enough
                   C
For you to see the stars
For you to see the stars
