[C]And the light of a [F]fadin[C]g star[F][C]
[C]Is what you were,[F] i[C]s what you are[F][C]
[C]Like the glow that [F]chris[C]tens the moon[F][C]
[C]You shone too soon,[F] y[C]ou shone too soon[F][C]
[G]Oh when will this war be over?
[C]And the madness leaves the air
[G]This brick that's found between us
[C]And the pulling of the hair
[F]But if there's a[G] reason
[Am]I don't need to [G]know right now
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon
Volunteers are soon forgotten
And many more of us shall die
The sick still feed the hungry
And the last battle song has cried
But if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon
[Am]Oh and I[G] always [C]thought
[Am]That you[G], you wa[C]nted me
[Am]Oh and I[G] always [C]thought [F]some how
[F]That you[G], you wa[Am]nted me
Ahhh, but if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
'Cause beyond the pale eyes' evening
And the shadow of the cloud
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
[C]Is what you were,[F] i[C]s what you are[F][C]
