David Bowie - The Stars (Are Out Tonight): chords

 D                      F#m
Stars are never sleeping
 D                      F#m
Dead ones and the living

F#m
We live closer to the earth
D
Never to the heavens
F#m
The stars are never far away
  D
Stars are out tonight

      F#m
They watch us from behind their shades
  D
Brigitte, Jack and Kate and Brad
       F#m
From behind their tinted window stretch
  D                             F#m
Gleaming like blackened sunshine
 D                      F#m
Stars are never sleeping
 D                      F#m
Dead ones and the living

F#m
Waiting for the first move
 D
Satyrs and their child wives
F#m
Waiting for the last move
 D                            F#m
Soaking up our primitive world
 D                      F#m
Stars are never sleeping
 D
Dead ones and the living

Chorus:
       E
Their jealousy's spilling down
      D
The stars must stick together
F#m
We will never be rid of these stars
       D
But I hope they live forever
           E
And they know just what we do
         D
That we toss and turn at night
         F#m
They're waiting to make their moves
          D
But the stars are out tonight

F#m
Here they are upon the stairs
 D
Sexless and unaroused
F#m
They are the stars, they're dying for you
       D
But I hope they live forever

They burn you with their radiant smiles
Trap you with their beautiful eyes
They're broke and shamed or drunk or scared
But I hope they live forever

Chorus

The stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight
