This is the acoustic performance for Shooting Star by Owl City, as part of the Spotify sessions.
This was done by ear, so I don t know if it is how Adam plays it, but it sounds pretty close.
I wasn t sure of the chord names, but the diagrams are at the bottom.
Hope you enjoy it, it s fun to play along to - Craig K.
Capo 4th Fret(Chords relative)
Standard Tuning
For the first two verses, just strum each chord once - as with any song listen to it to get the timing right.
Close your tired eyes, relax and then
Count from 1 to 10 and open them
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down
But not this time
Way up in the air, you re finally free
And you can stay up there right next to me
All this gravity will try to pull you down
But not this time
(Start to strum from here on)
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it s time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
(no 3rd)
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
Cause it s time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
(no 3rd)
So shine no matter where you are tonight
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh
Brighter than a shooting star
Cadd9 Gmaj9(no 3rd)
Shine no matter where you are tonight
Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts
And fan the flames so hot it melts our hearts
Oh, the pouring rain will try to put it out
But not this time
Let your colors burn and brightly burst
Into a million sparks that all disperse
And illuminate a world that ll try to bring you down
But not this time
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it s time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
(no 3rd)
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
Cause it s time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
(no 3rd)
So shine no matter where you are tonight
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh
Brighter than a shooting star
(no 3rd)
Shine no matter where you are tonight
(no 3rd)
A thousand heart beats beat in time
(no 3rd)
It makes this dark planet come alive
(no 3rd)
So when the lights flicker out tonight
(no 3rd)
You gotta shine
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it s time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
(no 3rd)
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
Cause it s time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
(no 3rd)
So shine no matter where you are tonight
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh
Brighter than a shooting star
(no 3rd)
Shine no matter where you are tonight
