Countdowns

      Eb        Ab             Eb
I am happy, I am thankful and I am proud
            Eb        Ab                 Eb
Said with a smile for the cameras at the countdown
   Fm      Cm           Ab             Eb
But if I'm honest, I am seconds from breaking down
         Cm    Ab                     Eb
As you orbit, gravity throws me to the ground

[Chorus]
        Ab
I'll be starry eyed
        Bb
I'll be starry eyed
         Ab    Bb       Eb
I'll be starry eyed for you

[Verse 2]
            Eb             Ab                 Eb
I brush the dust off, gain composure for another round
         Eb              Ab          Eb
When did my life become a series of countdowns?
   Fm      Cm           Ab          Eb
I curse the heavens for pulling you away from me
         Cm         Ab                     Eb
At the same time I pray that you'll find everything you seek

[Chorus]
           Ab
And I'll be starry eyed
        Bb
I'll be starry eyed
         Ab    Bb       Cm
I'll be starry eyed for you
         Ab    Bb       Eb
I'll be starry eyed for you

[Verse 3]
            Eb             Ab                 Eb
The whole world stares up in wonder at the night sky
         Eb              Ab          Eb
Oh what a marvel to see our dreams so realized
   Fm      Cm           Ab          Eb
But all these bright lights run together after a while
                 Cm           Ab            Eb
And our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night
             Cm         Ab             Eb
Our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night

[Chorus]
           Ab
But I'll be starry eyed
        Bb
I'll be starry eyed
         Ab    Bb       Cm
I'll be starry eyed for you
         Ab    Bb       Eb
I'll be starry eyed for you

[Verse 4]
    Eb             Ab                 Eb
I am happy, I am thankful and I am proud
            Eb             Ab                 Eb
Said with a smile for the cameras at the countdown
   Fm      Cm                   Ab          Eb
But all these bright lights run together after a while
               Cm           Ab          Eb
And our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night
