Distant Star Chords & Lyrics - First Aid Kit

[VERSE 1]
Well, a [G]goodbye never seems finished
Just like these [C]songs that I [G]write
[Em]They hang aloft like [C]stars in the night
'Til [Em]there's nothing left but the ill[C]usion of light
And [D]you[C] , you could've been mi[Em]ne
Your [G]mother, she's an actress
And we're all[C] putting on the [G]play
[Em]Give some conviction, pret[C]end it's all real
[Em]Try to ignore how [C]sad it all feels
Yes, [D]try not to [C]break her heart if you [Em]can

[CHORUS]
Hold o-o-[C]o-n
To whatever you can until it's [Em]gone
Carry o-o-[C]o-n
For none of us will be here for too [D]lo[C] -o[G] -o-ng

[VERSE 2]
I'll [G]try not to let the world and its [C]darkness bring me [G]down
[Em]Think of the love and the [C]beauty I've found
[Em]The simple things that [C]I've left behind
[D]Oh the way [C]he'd make me [Em]laugh

[CHORUS]
But I'll hold o-o-[C]o-n
To whatever I can until it's g[Em]one
I'll carry o-o-[C]o-n
For none of us will be here for too [D]lo[C] -ong, [D]lo[C] -o[G] -o-ng

[BRIDGE]
[E] [F] [E] [F]

[E] But you're a distant [F]star [E]
My darling, you're so [F]far awa[E]y
You were never meant to [F]stay[E]
I reach out to [F]see [E]
If you're still here with [F]me [E]
Babe we could've [F]made it ea[C]sy
Couldn't [G]we?

[OUTRO]
Now [G]I will never know you
You are just [C]someone passing [G]by
And [Em]it makes me sad [C]to think about
All the [Em]stories and fates that [C]I'll be without
But I [D]think I'm getting used to the silence now
