Starlight And Static

Tom: Am

Asus2 
I saw you up there 
F7 
Like a city in the footlights 
Asus2 
Shining in the darkness 
F7 
I couldn’t see your eyes 
G 
They all thought they knew you 
F7 
But nobody knew you 
G                       F7 
And I wanted no one to know me too 

Asus2 Fmaj7 (x2)

I saw you out there 
In the starlight and static 
Singing like a spark 
On a mile of coiled wire 
But you looked so lonely 
Like no one was ever lonely 
And I wanted to be lonely too 

E 
I remember once you told me 
Am 
You had a dream 
E 
On a crowded street 
Am  
You saw the ghost of James Dean 
C 
No one could see him 
G 
No one could see him 
F7 
And he cri . . . . .ed in his love 

I remember you were standing 
Up against a building 
Smoking like a river 
In the dark before the dawn 
When I asked you for nothing 
And you became nothing 
You were just a ghost 
And then the ghost was gone
