Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↑↓↑

You [G]know I want [G7]you, it’s [G]not a secret I try to [G7]hide [G]You know you want [G7]me, so [G]don’t keep saying our [G7]hands are tied [D]You claim it’s not in the [Em]cards, and faith is pulling you miles [C]away And out of a reach from [D]me, but you’re hearing my [Em]heart So who can stop me if [C]I decide it’s on my destiny?

What if we [Em]rewrite the [C]stars? Say you were [G]made to be [D]mine Nothing could [Em]keep us [C]apart, you’ll be the [G]one I was meant to [D]find It’s up to [Em]you, and it’s up to [C]me, no one could [G]say what we get to [D]be So why don’t we [Em]rewrite the [C]stars? And maybe the [G]world could be [D]ours [Em]tonight [C] [G] [D]

[G]You think it’s [G7]easy, you [G]think I don’t wanna [G7]grow onto you, yeah [G]But there are [G7]mountains (But there are mountains) [G]And there are doors that we can’t [G7]walk through I [D]know you’re wondering [Em]why, because we’re able to [C]be Just you and me within these [D]walls but when we go [Em]outside You’re gonna wake up and [C]see that it was hopeless after all

No one can [Em]rewrite the [C]stars (Rewrite the stars) How can you [G]say you’ll be [D]mine? Everything [Em]keeps us [C]apart And I’m not the [G]one you were meant to [D]find

(I’m not the one you were meant to find) It’s not up to [Em]you, it’s not up to [C]me, yeah When everyone [G]tells us what we can [D]be (Tells us what we can) And [N.C.]how can we [Em]rewrite the [C]stars? Say that the [G]world can be [D]ours [Em]tonight (Be ours)

All I want is to [C]fly with [G]you, all I want is to [D]fall with [Em]you So just give me [G]all of [C]you It feels impossible, it’s not impossible Is it impossible? Say that it’s possible

And how do we [Em]rewrite the [C]stars? Say you were [G]made to be [D]mine And nothing can [Em]keep us [C]apart, ’cause you are the [G]one I was meant to [D]find It’s up to [Em]you, and it’s up to [C]me, no one could [G]say what we get to [D]be And why don’t we [Em]rewrite the [C]stars? Changing the [G]world to be [D]ours [Em] [C] [G] [D]

[Em]You know I want you [C] [G]it’s not a secret I [C]try to hide [Em]But I can’t have you [C] [G]we’re bound to break and my hands are tied
