Chords for Nina Simone - Stars [ lyrics in description ]

_ _ Stars, they come and [C#m] go, they come [Am] fast, they come slow, they go [B] like the last light of the sun all in [Em] a blaze. _
All you see [A] is glory, _ but it [D] gets lonely there when there's [C#m] no one there [F#] to share.
_ You [Bm] can shake it away [Em] if _ _ [E] _ _
[A] you hear a story.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] People lust for fame like _ [F#m] athletes in a game.
_ _ _ [D] _
They break their collarbones [Em] and come up swinging. _ _
Some of them are [A] crowned, some of them [G] are downed, _ some are lost and never found. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ But most have seen [D] it all.
They _ _ [F#m] _ live their [D] lives inside cafes and [E] music [Em] halls, _ _ _ _ _ _ and they always have a [B] story.
_ [Em] _ _
_ [A] _ _ Some make it when [D] they are young, _ _ [F#] before the world is [Bm] done as a dirty job.
[G] _ Later on [E] someone will say you've had [Em] your day, _ _ _ now you must make way. _ _ _
_ [A] Don't they always?
But you'll never know [D] the pain of _ _ [A] using a name you never owned.
[B] _ [E] The years of forgetting what you know too well.
_ _ [D] That you who gave the [A] crown have been let down.
You try [B] to make _ amends _ _ _ without defending.
[A] _ _
_ Perhaps _ _ _ [D] pretending you [A] _ never saw the [F#] eyes [C] of young men at 25 [B] who _ _ _ _ followed as you walked.
_ _ [Em] Autographs _ kissed you on the cheek, _ _ and you never could believe they really [A] loved you.
_ _ Never. _
_ [A] Some make it when they're [D] old. _ _
_ _ [A] _ Perhaps they have a soul [B] they aren't afraid to [Em] bear.
Perhaps _ _ _ _ _ _ _ there's nothing there. _ _ _ _
[A] _ But anyway that isn't what I meant to say.
[D] _
I meant to tell about a story, [C#m] since we all have [E] stories. _
_ [B] But I can't remember it anyway.
_ [Em] _
So I'll tell about the mood that's in [A] the United [Em] States today.
And permeating even Switzerland.
[B] _ It goes.
[D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But I'll continue anyway until I get it [Bm] together.
[G] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ Some women have a body men will [E] want to see.
[A] _ _ _ _ So they put it on display.
Some people play a [D] fine guitar. _ _ _ _ _
I could listen to them play all [C] day.
_ [Am] _ _
[E] _ _ [B] But anyway, _ _ [Em] _
_ I'm trying to tell my story.
[A] _ _ [Em] _ [A] _
_ [D] Janice, he intro him very well.
_ _ [Bm] _
Janice Joplin told it even [Em] better. _ _
Billie Holiday [A] even told it even better.
[D] _ _ _
We always, [A] _ we always, _ [B] we always have a [Em] story. _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with.
And the latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with.
And the latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with.
And the [A] latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with.
_ [C#] _ [F#m] _ _ _
Feeling.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [A#m] Nothing [A] more than feelings. _
_ [D#] _ _ Feelings. _ _
[Bm] Nothing more than feelings.
[E] _ [A] Feelings of love.
You know that. _
