Unhook the Stars

Unhook the Stars


From the album, ”Sisters of Babylon” 1996


Original key Bb - Here capo 3rd fret.


G                     C                 G                   C
Just when everything's in order and good, things fall apart
                 G        Am               C               G
Just when life should be resolving I'm back at the beginning,
         Em                    C
And it comes back to the heart 
   Am          C            C            G
I'm not really sad...I'm not running, I'm looking
  Em                                    C
Did I tell you I've saved all your letters and cards
                 G               Am         C            Am
There's just nothing left for me to do here but unhook the stars.
             G                 Am          C              G
There's just nothing left for me to do here but unhook the stars.


G                     C                 G                   C
Do you remember when I told you all that I could and it seemed like too much
                 G        Am               C               G
Well I was living your life hoping you'd never fall
        Em                    C
If I held on tight enough
   Am          C            C            G
And letting go now is like a passport to anywhere
  Em                                    C
With time on my hands I can make a new start.
             G                 Am          
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars
             G                 Am          C              G
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars

 Dm        Em       F          G
Don't worry for me it's just I'm inspired
Dm      Em            F             G
Waiting in the wings made me drunk with possibility
 F             G
It rivals my memories...

Dm Em Dm G
Dm Em F G

             G                 Am               G        
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars
             G                 Am               G        
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars

G                     C                 G                   C
Just when everything's in order and good, things fall apart
                 G        Am               C               G
Just when life should be resolving I'm back at the beginning,
         Em                    C
And it comes back to the heart 
   Am          C            C            G
I'm not really sad...I'm not running, I'm looking
  Em                                    C
Did I tell you I've saved all your letters and cards
                 G               Am         C            Am
There's just nothing left for me to do here but unhook the stars.
             G                 Am          C              G
There's just nothing left for me to do here but unhook the stars.
