F     Dm             C7   F  A#m
If I stall at all or hesitate
F            Dm            C7      Dm
The world of always never seems to wait
A#m   C#               F#   A#
A comedy that could be so divine
F#m         C#
Never is a long time

F#       D#m               C#7       F# A#m
A shadow born to steal the light of day
F#             D#m              C#7     D#m
You woke me up and said come on let's play
D           G             Bm        A
But now I know this never has this way

Chorus:
    B        D         G
You are, you are the star I say
      B         D         G
From far, from far, from far away
     B         D        G
The laws that caused it all to stay

    A       G       A       G        A      G
By you, by you, by you, by you, for you, I do

I thought I done it all, I thought I knew
But nothing ever looked as clear as you
Now every never that I knew was fine
But never is a long time

Now I share this feeling with my Dad
Stolen goods aren't always half that bad
A never that will always

Chorus

By you, by you, by you, by you

     A           G
The faded piping on your dress,
     F#m               G
will always have its place I guess
    A       G
By you, by you
   F#m              G                 F#m            G
A common love that we can bless the pleasure of my child's mess
 F#m              G               F#m            G
Golden books and tenderness have rescued me from emptiness

    B        D         G
You are, you are the star I say
      B         D         G
From far, from far, from far away
     B         D        G
The laws that caused it all to stay
    B        D         G
You are, you are the star I say
      B         D         G
From far, from far, from far away
     B         D        G
The laws that caused it all, it all,
   B       D       G                B  D G
it all, it all, it all, it all to stay
