Intro: G C Am D  (play only the two first strings from the bass)


G            C
Oh the night makes you a star
       Am         D
And it holds you cold in its arms
           G           C               Am
You’re the one to whom nobody verses I love you
       D
Unless you say it first

       G         C
So you lie there holding your breath
        Am          D
And its strange how soon you forget
            G
That you’re like stars
   C                   Am
They only show up when it’s dark
           D
Cause they don’t know their worth

      C                                         D
And I think you need to stop following misery’s lead

Shine away shine away shine away

G                       C        Am
  Isn’t it time you got over how fragile you are
          G
We’re all waiting
                C
Waiting on your supernova
       Am
Cause that’s who you are
           C             D
And you’ve only begun to shine

          G              C                   Am
There are times when the poets and pornstars align and
D                         G
You won’t know who to believe in
     C                       Am         D
Well that’s a good time to be leavin’

        G       C
And the past... knocks on your door
           Am                       D
And throws stones at your window at 4 in the morning
     G        C
Well maybe he thinks it’s romantic
     Am            D
He’s crazy but you knew that before


      C                                         D
And I think you need to stop following misery’s lead

Shine away shine away shine away

G                       C        Am
  Isn’t it time you got over how fragile you are
          G
We’re all waiting
                C
Waiting on your supernova
       Am
Cause that’s who you are
           C             D
And you’ve only begun to shine
           C             D
Yeah you’ve only begun to shine

          G                            C       D
Won’t you shine shine shine shine over shadow
G                             C       D
Shine shine shine shine over shadow
G
Shine shine shine shine over

C                                               D
And I think you need to stop following misery’s lead

Shine away Shine away Shine away

           C             D
Yeah you’ve only begun to shine
           C             D
Yeah you’ve only begun to shine
           C             D
Yeah you’ve only begun to shine
