-INTRO-
[C] [F] [Am] [G]
-Verse 1-
[C] Close your tired eyes relax and then
[F] Count from one to ten and open them.
[Am] All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down,
[G] But not this time.
[C] Way up in the air you’re finally free,
[F] and you can stay up there right next to me.
[Am] All this gravity will try to pull you down,
[G] But not this time.
-Chorus-
[C] When the sun goes down and the lights burn out,
[F] Then it’s time for you to shine
[Am] Brighter than a shooting star,
[G] So shine no matter where you are.
[C] Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
[F] Cause it’s time for you to shine
[Am] Brighter than a shooting star,
[G] So shine no matter where you are
[C] Tonight.
[F] (whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
[Am] Brighter than a shooting star,
[G] Shine no matter where you are
[C] Tonight.
-Verse 2-
[C] Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts,
[F] and fan the flame so high it melts our hearts.
[Am] Oh, the pouring rain will try to put it out,
[G] But not this time.
[C] Let your colors burn and brightly burst
[F] Into a million sparks that all disperse
[Am] And illuminate a world that will try to bring you down,
[G] But not this time.
-Chorus-
[C] When the sun goes down and the lights burn out,
[F] Then it’s time for you to shine
[Am] Brighter than a shooting star,
[G] So shine no matter where you are.
[C] Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light,
[F] Cause it’s time for you to shine
[Am] Brighter than a shooting star,
[G] So shine no matter where you are
[C] Tonight.
-Verse 3-
[C] A thousand heartbeats beat in time.
[F] It makes this dark planet come alive.
[Am] So when the lights flicker out tonight,
[G] You’ve gotta shine.
-Chorus-
[C] When the sun goes down and the lights burn out,
[F] Then it’s time for you to shine
[Am] Brighter than a shooting star,
[G] So shine no matter where you are.
[C] Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light,
[F] Cause it’s time for you to shine
[Am] Brighter than a shooting star,
[G] So shine no matter where you are
[C] Tonight.
[F] (whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
[Am] Brighter than a shooting star.
[G] Shine no matter where you are
[C] tonight.
