[intro]
C F Em7 Am7
Fare thee well, my bright star
F6 G C/B
I watched your taillights blaze into nothingness
C F Em7 Am9
But you were long gone before I ever got to you
F6 G Am9 Am7
Before you blazed past this address
Dm7 Em F6 G
And now I think of having loved and having lost
Dm7 Em F6 G
You never know what it's like to never love
Dm7 Em F6 G
Who can say what's better when my heart's become the cost
Am7 D G
A mere token of a brighter jewel sent from up above
C F Em7 Am7
Fare thee well, my bright star
F6 G C/B
The vanity of youth, the color of your eyes
C F Em7 Am9
Maybe if I'd fanned the blazing fire of your day-to-day
F6 G Am9 Am7
Or if I'd been older I'd been wise
Dm7 Em F6 G
Too thick the heat of those long summer evenings
Dm7 Em F6 G
For a cool evening I began to yearn
Dm7 Em F6 G
But you could only feed upon the things which feed a fire
Am7 D G
Waiting to see if I would burn
C F Em7 Am7
Fare thee well, my bright star
F6 G C/B
It was a brief brilliant miracle dive
C F Em7 Am9
That which I looked up to and I clung to for dear life
F6 G Am9 Am7
Had to burn itself up just to make itself alive
Dm7 Em F6 G
And I caught you then, in your moment of glory
Dm7 Em F6 G
Your last dramatic scene against a night sky stage
Dm7 Em F6 G
With a memory so clear it's as if you're still before me
Am7 D G
My once in a lifetime star of an age
C F Em7 Am7
So fare thee well, my bright star
F6 G C/B
Last night the tongues of fire circled me around
C F Em7 Am9
And this strange season of pain will come to pass
F6 G Am9 Am7
When the healing hands of autumn cool me down
