(Chorus)
G
One star to steer by.
Em7 Am7
One star up in the midnight sky
D
Where’er I roam.
C/G
One star to sing its song,
G Em7
To promise it won’t steer me wrong,
A7 D
Is all I need to lead me home to you.
C/G
So steer me true,
D G
My lonesome star.
G Em7
I needed space to breathe.
Am7 D C/G D
A person cannot breathe in outer space.
Am7 D
I guess it’s contradictory.
Am7 D
The sort of thing a fool could see.
C/G
And still I had to leave,
G Em7 A7
Taking just a picture of your face.
D Am7
I carry it around, you see,
D
To see you looking back at me.
Alone out in the void,
Staring at the screen, contemplating solitude.
It isn’t very hard to see,
I come by it so naturally.
Hauling some asteroid,
Orbit calculated to exclude
Collision courses with the Moon,
The chance that I might be home soon.
(Bridge)
C/G G
All the stars in heaven in a choir.
C/G D
You’re the only star that I require.
Out flying in the dark,
Waiting for another chance to hear your voice.
Thirty minutes at light speed.
Conversation’s hard to read.
Those pauses leave a mark.
I really should have made another choice.
Remember that the fool you found
Is heading for you, homeward bound.
(Chorus twice)
(Em7) C/G
So steer me true,
D G
My lonesome star.
