Intro: C F Am G

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.
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.

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
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.

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.
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

Brighter than a shooting star,
