This is from the Nothing is Sound songbook. Between pre-choruses and choruses it
looks wrong but in fact, that's what the book says. It's an amazing song! Enjoy!
Drop D Tuning (DADGBE)
Verse 1
D5 Gsus2 D5
Maybe I've been the problem, maybe I'm the one to blame.
Csus2 Gsus2
But even when I turn it off and blame myself,
A7sus4 A7
The outcome feels the same.
D5
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
Gsus2 D5
Maybe I'm the chance of rain.
Csus2
And maybe I'm overcast,
Gsus2 A7sus4 A7
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain.
Gsus2
I've been thinking 'bout ev'ryone
Pre-Chorus
Asus2 Bsus2 Csus2
Ev'ryone. You look so lonely
D5
But when I look at the stars,
Chorus
Gsus2
When I look at the stars,
Csus2
When I look at the stars,
D5 E5 D5 F#5
I see someone else.

Esus2 A7sus4/D
The stars,
I feel like myself.
Verse 2
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/switchfoot/stars_crd_ver_3.html ]
D5 Gsus2 D5
Stars looking at a planet, watching entropy and pain,
Csus2 Gsus2 A7sus4
And maybe start to wonder how the chaos in our lives
A7
Could pass as sane.
D5
I've been thinking 'bout the meaning of resistance,
Gsus2 D5
Of a hope beyond my own,
Csus2 Gsus2 A7sus4 A7
And suddenly the infinite and penitent begin to look like home.
Gsus2
I've been thinking 'bout ev'ryone
Pre-Chorus
Asus2 Bsus2
Ev'ryone. You look so empty
Back to Chorus
Csus2
I feel like myself. Yeah!
