[Verse 1]

G                               Em
 Everybody's going back to Tennessee
                    D                          A
Just to break their heart, Just to break their heart
G                                       Em
 Like a boy who's trying to reenact the dream
              D 
After he woke up, 
              A
After he woke up,


[Chorus]

C       G            Am
 Little star, little star.
C       G            Am     D
 Little star, little star.

[Verse 2]

G                               Em
 I remember sitting in a rusted swing
                D
Saying, Push me high, 
                A
Saying, Push me high,
G                                               Em
 It might have been the day you answered to the king.
              D
It's a bitter life, 
              A
It's a bitter life,


[Chorus]

C        G           Am
 Little star, little star.
C        G           Am
 Little star, little star.


[Bridge]

Bm                                   C
Two points off the compass above the South, 
       G    F      C 
Little star
Am                         Bm
 I've spotted you at the reunion
        G         F              C
Looking sad and a little misconstrued.
Am                        Bm 
 It's got to feel so disappointing to be loved the most
    C                                                  D
For things you've long forgotten how to say and how to do.


[Verse]

G                                       Em
 Well, is it any better when you fall asleep?
                D 
Do your planets glide, 
                A
Do your planets glide?
G                                              Em
'Cos when I see you smile I know you're in too deep
             D 
To ever be revived, 
             A
To ever be revived,


[Chorus]

C        G           Am
 Little star, little star.
C        G           Am
 Little star, little star.


[Outro]

Bm                                          C
It’s two points off the compass above the South,
       G     F     C     D
Little star
       G     F     C     D
Little star
       G
Little star
