This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Structure + Lyrics

Intro/Verse

leave home today

escape your region

it's in your head, keep moving on

Pre-Chorus

choose starlight

no way to retrace

it is gone

(no way to retrace all your good days add them up

it is gone)

choose star bright

no way to retrace

it is gone

(none of you knew any more then

leave it here

it is gone)

Verse

become your dad

live unquestioned

it's in your head, nostalgia is death

Pre-Chorus

choose starlight

no way to retrace

it is gone

(no way to retrace all your good days add them up

it is gone)

choose star bright

no way to retrace

it is gone

(none of you knew any more then

leave it here

it is gone)

Chorus

starlight star bright

starlight star bright

Bridge

can't depend on honest answers from dependent hands

won't accept an honest answer from an open hand

(say the words and i sign off

starlight star bright)

Chorus

starlight star bright

starlight star bright
