Lyrics by Benj Pasek, Justin Paul and Music by Justin Hurwitz


Intro: Am | Am | Am | Am

[Sebastian:]
Am             D
City of stars,
                D7      Em
Are you shining just for me?
Am             D
City of stars,
                     D7     G
There’s so much that I can’t see.
    Am     D
Who knows?
                           G       Bm/F#       Bm5-/F
I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you

[Mia:]
     Am      B9
That now our dreams
                  Em   Em/D
May finally come true.

Am             D7
City of stars,
                         Em     Em7
Just one thing everybody wants,
Am                D7
There in the bars
                                   G             Bm/F#
And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants:
     Am7   D
It’s love.
                              G         Bm/F#   Bm5-/F
Yes, all we’re looking for is love from someone else.

[Sebastian:]
  Am
A rush,
[Mia:]
A glance,
[Sebastian:]
  B9
A touch,
[Mia:]
A dance.

[Both:]
  C    Cmaj  C       D
A look in somebody’s eyes
   D7       D   B7
To light up the skies,
            Em
To open the world and send them reeling.
  C     Cmaj  C              D7
A voice that says, “I’ll be here,
                Emadd9  Emsus2
And you’ll be alright.”

C  Cmaj  C        D
I don’t care if I know
     D7           B7
Just where I will go,
                  Em           Em7sus2 Em
‘Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling,
  C       Cmaj      B9
A rat-tat-tat on my heart…
[Sebastian:]
                   Em    Em/D
Think I want it to stay.

Am             D
City of stars,
                        G
Are you shining just for me?
Am             B9
City of stars,
[Mia:]
                           Em
You never shined so brightly.
