Fairly straight-forward. Just the same wee riff repeated throughout the song. Played on an
acoustic guitar with a capo on the 1st fret.

Lyrics (play the riff above throughout the whole song)

Straight from your own eyes. Lift your sights above. 
Normality and strangeness. Loneliness in love. 
Like me for who i am - i'll give you a black star. 
Ignore my jokes, feed my lies. Take advantage of my nature. 

Remember though, all my actions are fuelled, selfesh gain. 
I live for you and die for you. I'm trying to be a saint. 
I'll cry when you leave me. Wounded and on my own. 
It's fake, but so is this, i just couldn't get through the scum. 
Prove to you on my surface: i wanna be a black star. 
I'll give you a black star. I wanna be a black star. 
I'll give you a black star. Black star.
