Southern Star

C

[Verse 1]
      C       Em      C    Em
Oh my drunken southern star
        C        Em      C    G
How you tried to hide in darkness
             C  G
Slipped from orbit
           D      C    G    C   G
Now you’re dangerously close


[Verse 2]
     C         Em
Come out, come out
              C      Em
From all your hiding out
      C          Em
We’ll dig in our heels
           C     G
Salute the battlefields
          D      C           G      C    G
Where our broken hearts were born, oh


[Chorus]
        C
And the storm clouds are thirsty
Em                       C                    Em
I can see them bursting, watch them gathering light
        C                    Em                 D    C
And the walls in the bedroom now are pounding out
        C                Em                C    Em
Were we broken open baby, maybe just a crack
C                         Em                 D       C   G  C   G
Swore I heard you whisper that you preferred us like that, oh

[Verse 3]
   C      Em   C    Em
My broken open child
        C        Em           C    G
Were we thirsty, thorned with wild eyes
C             G             D             C     G
Still, we are slaves to the sirens of the salty sea
 C  G  C  G  C  G
Oh,   oh,   oh,
