[Verse 1]

F         Dm             C7  F  Bbm
   If I stall at all or hesitate
F               Dm            C7       Dm
   The world of always never seems to wait
Bbm       Db               Ebm/Gb Bb
   A comedy that could be so   divine
Gbm            Db
   Never is a long time

Gb          Ebm                Db7      Gb Bbm
   A shadow born to steal the light of day
Gb             Ebm              Db7        Ebm
   You woke me up and said come on let's play
D              G              Bm       A
   But now I know this never has this way


[Chorus]

    B        D         G
You are, you are the star I say
      B         D         G
From far, from far, from far away
     B         D        G
The laws that caused it all to stay


[Post-Chorus]

    A       G       A       G        A      G
By you, by you, by you, by you, for you, I do


[Verse 2]

F                 Dm              C7        F Bbm
   I thought I'd done it all, I thought I knew
F              Dm               C7      Dm
   But nothing ever looked as clear as you
Bbm           Db            Gb      Bb
   Now every never that I knew was fine
Gbm            Db   Gb
   Never is a long time

               Ebm               Db7     Gb Bbm
   And now I share this feeling with my dad
Gb         Ebm                 Db7       Ebm
   Stolen goods aren't always half that bad
D              G
   The never that we'll always


[Chorus]

    B        D         G
You are, you are the star I say
      B         D         G
From far, from far, from far away
     B         D        G
The laws that caused it all to stay


[Post-Chorus]

    A       G       A       G
By you, by you, by you, by you


[Bridge]

        A           G                   F#m               G
   The faded piping on your dress, will always have its place I guess
       A       G
   By you, by you
      F#m              G                 F#m            G
   A common love that we can bless the pleasure of my child's mess
    F#m              G               F#m            G
   Golden books and tenderness have rescued me from emptiness


[Outro Chorus]

    B        D         G
You are, you are the star I say
      B         D         G
From far, from far, from far away
     B         D        G
The laws that caused it all to stay
    B        D         G
You are, you are the star I say
      B         D         G
From far, from far, from far away
     B         D        G               B       D       G                B  D6/9  G
The laws that caused it all, it all, it all, it all, it all, it all to stay
