(you can throw in quick 9th notes in here and there on the C's for variety...same goes for the verses)
By starlight I'll kiss you and promise to be your one and
only.
I'll make you feel happy and leave you to be lost in
mine.
(Emphasised downstrokes on and )
And where will we go, what will we do?
Soon said I, will
know. And are you just like me?
(Emphasised; cut the
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me? F short to make room)
Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas.
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me? And
all along, we knew we'd carry on
Just to belong.
By starlight I know you, as lovely as a wish granted
true.
My life has been empty, my life has been untrue.
And does she really know, who I really am?
Dm G (Hold, maybe give it a slow upstroke or something)
And does she really know me?
At last.....and are you just like me?
(As above)
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?
Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas.
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?
Oooohhh...are you just like me?
(Fade and repeat. The words vary a bit, there's a lot of "ooohhs", etc...)
