I'll start us off. Not sure if i quite completed this one or not, but i'll post it anyhoo.

Cardio Super-Nova

My wishing star is a meteorite

that fell straight from heaven,

embedding itself within the core of my chest.

I can feel the contrast.

The cold wind against the warmth

of my open heart.

The street signs leading the dead end way

begin to decay.

The stars in the sky

start to cry as if begging you

to walk another path. Their tears, eroding

a trail into the ground.

One to which life is found.

A fallen star's destination reached.

Not to burn out in the dirt.

Cardio super-nova.

Dreaming was not meant to hurt

so please restart.

Wish upon my star.

Become who you truly are. You're not that far.

They light the sky in countless billions.

Plenty for all of God's children.

Take your pick, make a wish.

Dreams do come true.

Don't let them extinguish.

What do you do when the world fights against you?
When all you can do is run for the hills?
What can you believe in when everything's wrong?
Just ask God to let you in.

He'll take to the safety of His arms
Hold you close as the night grows long
The world dares not mess with Him
Just ask God to let you in

here it is:

intro: C+9, Dsus, C+9, Dsus

G D C2 G D

it's spread before me, the sun set sky.

G D C2 G D

the symbol of beauty, it's like i can fly.

pre- chorus:

Em C2

can't you feel the elation?

G D

the pureness within?

Em C2

like a new constellation,

G D

but your clueless agian

CHORUS:

C+9 Dsus C+9 Dsus

you pretend you can see, but you don't see a thing.

C+9 Dsus

you can't feel the beauty,

C+9 Dsus

you can't take up my wings.

C+9 Dsus C+9 Dsus

how can i show you the truth when you can't see a thing?

C+9 D

i can't give you my wings,

C+9 D

i can't give you my wings.

2nd verse:

G D

you think i'm just crazy,

C2 G D

just a man who's confused.

G D

it's just so hazy,

C2 G D

but i feel so abused.

pre- chorus:

Em C2

your laughter still cuts me

G D

why can't you just look

Em C2

can't see your face in the mirror,

G D

am i another bad book?

CHORUS

there it is. if you play guitar, C2 is like G with all your fingers moved in a string, and C+9 is like C2 with a finger on the first string too. and Dsus is like D but with your pinkie on the first string. have fun!
