BENSON BOONE – IN THE STARS

 

Inro : E A D G B E

[Verse 1]

G       D                  Em

 Sunday mornings were your favorite

          G                Bm         Em

I used to meet you down on Woodscreek road

G             D                     Em

 You did your hair up like you were famous

     Am               G                    D

Even though it's only church where we were going

   G       Bm               Em

Now Sunday mornings, I just sleep in

               G         Bm         Em

It's like I've buried my faith with you

    G              Bm           Em

I'm screaming at a God, I don't know if I believe in

       Am                G          D

'Cause I don't know what else I can do

 

 

[Chorus]

          C                               G

I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone

              D                                 Em

I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever

           C                                 G

Now you're in the stars and six feet's never felt so far

           D                                Em

Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers

       C        G          D       B7        Em

Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons

             C               Cm                  G

You took the best of my heart  and left the rest in pieces

 

 

[Verse 2]

G                     Bm           Em

 Digging through your old birthday letters

  G               Bm           Em

A crumpled twenty still in the box

G                  Bm           Em

I don't think that I could ever find a way to spend it

     Am               G                D

Even if it's the last twenty that I've got

 

 

[Chorus]

              C                               G

Oh, I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone

              D                                 Em

I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever

           C                                 G

Now you're in the stars and six feet's never felt so far

           D                                Em

Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers

       C        G          D       B7        Em

Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons

             C               Cm                  G

You took the best of my heart  and left the rest in pieces

 

 

[Bridge]

          G                  Bm                 Em

I'm still holding (Holding), holding (Holding), holding on

          G                  Bm                 Em

I'm still holding (Holding), holding (Holding), holding on

          G                  Bm                           Em

I'm still holding (Holding), holding (Holding), I'm still holding on

          Am         G       D

I'm still ooh, still holding on

 

 

[Chorus]

          C*                              G*

I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone

              D*                                Em*

I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever

           C                                 G

Now you're in the stars and six feet's never felt so far

           D                                Em

Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers

       C        G          D       B7        Em

Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons

             C                  Cm

You took the best of my heart,      left the rest in pieces
