Marina And The Diamonds – Buy The Stars chords

Am    G        Dm            C G   Dm   You bought a star in the sky   tonight
       Am    G        Dm          C G        DmBecause your life is dark and it needs some light
        Am   G      Dm         C    G        Dm  You named it after me, but I’m not yours to keep
      Am        G    Dm             C G      DmBecause you’ll never see, that the stars are free


   Am        C      G       FOh we don’t own our heavens now
   Am   C       GWe only own our hell
    Am      C         G       FAnd if you don’t know that by now
          Am        C       GThen you don’t know me that well


C       Dm       Am       FAll my life I’ve been so lonely
C          Dm      Am    FAll in the name of being holy

     C        Dm      Am         FAnd you could buy up all of the stars,
    C          Dm      Am      FBut it wouldn’t change who you are
        C           Dm   Am      FYou’re still living life in the dark
F             G      Dm   It’s just who you are
F             G      Dm   It’s just who you are


Am    G        Dm         C G   Dm  You bought a star in the sky  tonight
       Am    G        Dm            And in your man-made dark
      C      G       Dm The light inside you died



   Am        C      G       FOh we don’t own our heavens now
   Am   C       GWe only own our hell
    Am      C         G       FAnd if you don’t know that by now
          Am        C       GThen you don’t know me that well

C     Bm (?)You know only how to own me

We come alone and then we die

And no matter how hard you try

I’ll always belong in the sky
