G                    C                       G         C
Everyone knows that you're too good for me, don't they?
         G                     C                    G          C
I'm a cheater, I lie and I'm shy but you like to say hello to total strangers
G          C         G        C         G              C                 G C
Shivering pines and walls of colour, I can't believe I used to stay inside

    Em                            D
But every perfect summer's gotta say goodnight
       C                        A7
Now I watch you run through the ember line
  Em                              D
I used to love the party now I'm not alright
         C                     A7
Drinking in the dark, take me home tonight

Chorus:
            G Cmaj7
Baby you're a  big star
       G Cmaj7
You're a  big star
    G Cmaj7      Em7
Wanna take your picture

I toss up if it's worth it now every time I get on a plane
I've got so much to tell you and not enough time to do it in

But every perfect summer's gotta take its flight
I'll still watch you run through the winter light
I used to love the party, now I'm not alright
Hope the honeybees make it home tonight

Chorus

        G  C
'Til I die
        G  C
'Til I die
       Em  G  C
'Til I die
