              E
Seen a shooting star tonight,
             A                   E
And I thought of you.
E                  
You were trying to break into another world.
      A
A world I never knew.
A                            B
I always kind of wondered,
          E                     A
If you ever made it through.
              E                     
Seen a shooting star tonight,
            A                E
And I thought of you.


Seen a shooting star tonight,
And I thought of me.
If I was still the same,
If I ever became what you wanted me to be.
Did I miss the mark or,
Over-step the line,
That only you could see?
Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of me.

        C#m
        Listen to the engine, listen to the bell
      
        As the last fire truck from hell
        A                        B                                E
        Goes rolling by, all good people are praying,
                   C#m
        It's the last temptation the last account

        The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,
        A                          B
        The last radio is playing.


Seen a shooting star tonight,
Slip Away.
Tomorrow will be another day.
Guess it's too late to say the things to you,
That you needed to hear me say.
Seen a shooting star tonight,
Slip away.

             F                   C
And I thought of you.
C                  
You tried to break into another world.
      F
A world I never knew.
F                            G
I always kind of wondered,

If you ever made it through.
               C                     
I seen a shooting star tonight,
            F                C
And I thought of you.


I seen a shooting star tonight,
And I thought of me.
Is it still the same,
If I ever became what you wanted me to be.
Did I miss the mark or,
Over-step the line,
That only you could see?
I seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of me.

        Am
        Listen to the engine, listen to the bell
      
        As the last fire truck from hell
        F                        G                                C
        Goes rolling by, all good people are praying,
                    Am
        It's the last temptation the last account

        The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,
        F                           G
        The last radio is playing.


I seen a shooting star tonight,
Slip away.
Tomorrow's gonna be another day.
Guess it's too late to say the things to you,
But you needed to hear me say.
Seen a shooting star tonight,
Slip away.
