I'm losing my di-rection.

Something's come be-tween us

It's getting hard to do right. 

------------------- A --
I'm searchin' for a sign

------------- D ------ Dmaj7 --
They've split us into sections.

I'm from Mars and you're from Venus

Nothin' is de-fined

shifts and caresses the buildings

Dark starry eyes, - searching the skies.

Because it's hidden from view

You know we're gonna' make it,

we've only gotta take it

'Cause it's a dark, dark sky, 

-------------------- G --- Em
holds the North Star high, 

--- D ------------------------- A ------
and guides us and bathes us in stillness 

---------------- D -- Dsus - D
and sameness and blue

I've made a big de-cision. 

--------------------- D6 --- Dmaj7
In the light of the e-ternal

------------------ Em ----
I'm gonna' be your mirror, 

------------------ A
and you can mirror me.

------------------- D --------- Dmaj7 
I'll see you in the bright star, 

---------------- D6 ------ Dmaj7
cushioned by the dark sky,

---------------- Em ---
Reflected in the river, 

-------------- A --
flowing to the sea.

Em ---------------------- Em(maj7) -----
-- And as the reasons and rumors recede, 

G -------------------- A ----
dyin' on the lessening breeze



Chorus 2:

----------- D -- D7 ------------- G ---- Em
Dark starry eyes, - immune to sur-prise.

------------ D --------------
Because it's hidden from view 

------------- A -----------
don't mean it isn't for you

--- Em -----------------------
You know we're gonna' make it, 

---------- A ------------
we've only gotta' take it

--------------------- D - D7 
And it's a dark, dark sky, 

-------------------- G --- Em
holds the North Star high, 

--- D ------------------------ 
and guides us and bathes us in 

A ------------------------ G --
stillness and sameness and blue 



Bridge:

G ----------------------------- 
Blue is the colour of my heart,  

 
D ------------------------------
- since you blew my senses apart.

Em ---------------------------------------- D ---
-- The feeling we're back at the start never ends.

G ------------------------------ 
- As clusters of heavenly jewels  

D --------------------------------
gaze down on Earth's lonely fools,

Em -------------------------------------------- A --
- Turnin' and twistin', resisting the pull of a fate

that's already been planned that they can't understand
