[B] [G#m] [E] [F#]
[B]August afternoon
[G#m]I can picture you
[E]Walking with your father at your [B]side [F#]
[B]In the summer heat
[G#m]California speaks
[E]Softly like she's making up her [B]mind [F#]
And [G#m]now, as I [E]stand beside you I say
[B]Baby, isn't it [E]crazy that we are [G#m]born only to [F#]die?
Oh but [B]lately, I've been [E]counting my stars
'Cause [G#m]I will spend my [F#]whole life loving you
[B]Through your shining eyes
[G#m]Sweet like Jeffrey Pines
[E]I pretended I could read your [B]thoughts [F#]
[B]Now it's just the truth
[G#m]Seems our hearts have fused
[E]Soldered like the gold your sister [B]brought [F#]
And [G#m]how am I [E]lucky enough to say
[B]Baby, isn't it [E]crazy that we are [G#m]born only to [F#]die?
Oh but [B]lately, I've been [E]counting my stars
'Cause [G#m]I will spend my [F#]whole life loving you
[G#m]Loving you [E]Loving you [B]Loving you [F#]Loving you
[G#m]Loving you [E]Loving you [B]Loving you [F#]Loving you
[B]Baby, isn't it [E]crazy that we are [G#m]born only to [F#]die?
Oh but [B]lately, I've been [E]counting my stars
'Cause [G#m]I will spend my [F#]whole life loving you
