[Verse]
Em
That hue in the sky
C
Just a glimpse of another life
Am G
Are barley missed by some stupid collection
Em C Bm D
Life's random dominoes, if it only been more aggressive
A G
Oh and it burns me up
Em C
My friends might as well have pissed in my cup
A G
Cause they knew and they never spoke up
Em C Bm D
You wanted the same as I did and I never will forgive them
Am Em C
Is there something I'm failing to see
Em
A message in the stars
C
Secrets lying hidden from me
Am F
Not sure what they are, if it keeping us apart?
[Instrumental]
C G
Em C
She had Wilson Pickett's best on 45
Am G
And one night you know she gave me ride
Em C
To a place and we were all alone
Bm D
But still neglected to mention
Em C
Is there something I'm failing to see
Em
A message in the stars
C
Secrets lying hidden from me
Em
Not sure where they are
C
Tell me am I always to be, watching from a far
F
Cause your image breaks my heart
[Instrumental]
C F
G C
Now the waltz is over
G C
Passed into the clover
G C
Now the waltz is over
G C
Passed into the clover
[Instrumental]
F C
G Em
Cause the day will finally come
C
When time will have rendered me numb
A G
Maybe then I can put it down
Em C
Let me linger for a moment now
A G
Collect some details to recall
Em C
Some part of life before it all
Bm D
Fades into the darkness
[Instrumental]
C Bm Em
C
Is there something I'm failing to see
Em
A message in the stars

Secrets lying hidden from me
Em
Not sure where they are

Tell me am I always to be, watching from a far
F
Cause your image breaks my heart
