Look at the stars 
                         D 
Look how they shine for you 
                         C 
And everything you do 
 
Yeah they were all yellow 
G 
I came along 
                   D 
I wrote a song for you 
                              C 
And all the things you do 
 
And it was called "Yellow" 
G                  D 
So then I took my turn 
                            C 
Oh what a thing to have done 
                        G D 
And it was all yellow 
C             G  D  C 
Lights will guide you home 
     G D C 
And ignite your bones 
            G D 
And I will try to fix you

Em           C                        G 
  I was just guessing at numbers and figures 
 
Pulling your puzzles apart 
Em              C                  G 
 Questions of science, science and progress 
 
Do not speak as loud as my heart 
Em              C 
  Tell me you love me 
               G 
Come back and haunt me 
 
Oh and I rush to the start 
Em            C                  G 
 Running in circles, chasing our tails 
 
Coming back as we are 
 
C                       G 
Nobody said it was easy 
 
Oh it's such a shame for us to part 
C                        G 
Nobody said it was easy 
                                      D 
No one ever said it would be so hard 
N.C. 
I'm going back to the start

When you try your best but you don't succeed 
           G            Bm                 Em     Bm 
When you get what you want but not what you need

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep 
           G Bm Em Bm 
Stuck in reverse 
           G                    Bm         Em    Bm 
When the tears come streaming down your face 
            G                    Bm         Em    Bm 
'Cause you lose something you can't replace 
           G                    Bm         Em    Bm 
When you love someone but it goes to waste

What could it be worse?

Your skin 
Em            D 
Oh yeah, your skin and bones 
C      Em           D 
Turn into something beautiful 
C            Em           D 
You know, you know I love you so

You know I love you so

And I 
G           C 
Tears stream down your face
