Northern Star

F                         C      
Three rum and cokes and a couple 
      F
beers in
       Dm           Gm      C    
Some lucky drunk stood up, heavy 
                F
with where he'd been
        F           Bb           
And he held onto someone, and he 
C          F
sung out, compelled
Dm          Gm             C     
"You're why I was right to trust 
 F
myself"

[Chorus 1]
F
He said
Dm      Bb   C          F
Keep me up, keep me out late
Dm      Bb     C            F
Keep me close, I need your faith
      Dm              Bb
Keep right where you are
         C             F
Cause I followed this far
         Dm         Bb      
Like I'm sure that you're the 
      C      F
Northern Star
     Dm   Bb         C        F
I'm sure you're the Northern Star

[Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
F                     C       
Three hours in to a three minute 
    F
call
       Dm      Gm                
Some gambler wondered if she'd 
C          F
just won it all
         F               Bb       
And she laughed when he asked if 
     C            F
his head seemed alright
          Dm            Gm        
Singing, I've seen the bright 
      C            F
sides my whole lovely life

[Chorus 2]
She said
Dm      Gm      C       F
Talk me up and talk me down
Dm        Gm    C         F
Talk too long, I'll stick around
     Dm       Gm        C        
Talk me into following you 
    F
somewhere far
          Dm   Gm         C       
Like I'm sure you're the Northern 
 F
Star
    Dm    Gm         C        F
I'm sure you're the Northern Star

[Verse 3]
F                       C        
Three weeks away from a year 
      F
since the score
        Dm                Gm      
And the reckless thieves reckoned 
            C        F
they could get even more
            Dm         Gm         
They ain't casing out weddings, 
            C          F
nah those are too big a sight
              Dm         Gm       
They're just looking at dresses 
   C              F
and rings that she likes

[Chorus 3]
F
They said
Dm      Bb   C          F
Keep me up, keep me out late
Dm      Bb     C           F
Keep me close, I need your faith
      Dm              Bb
Keep right where you are
         C             F
Cause I followed this far
         Dm         Bb      
Like I'm sure that you're the 
      C      F
Northern Star
     Dm   Bb         C         F
I'm sure you're the Northern Star
     Dm  Bb  C F
I'm sure
        Dm         Bb      
And I'm sure that you're the 
   C        F
Northern Star
