[tab]
You think you re better than the others somewhat fine and brave[/tab]
[tab]

A star they say a million miles away from home
[tab]
An empty space is that the place you wanted[/tab]
[tab]
The last thing that they tell you about they ask you will it hurt[/tab]
[tab]
They said sell what you can boy get out while the getting s good[/tab]
[tab]
And they whisper in the evening all around town[/tab]
[tab]
