"Brighter than the Sun" lyrics by Benjamin Newman ttto: "Brighter than the Sun" (chorus) by Colbie Caillat and Ryan Tedder (capo 3) / G - / C - / G - / D - / Oh, this is how the stars Vanish from the sky This is how they die Brighter than the sun Fuel fuses in the core The heat holds up the floor At least until there's none Brighter than the sun Then suddenly it snaps The outer layers collapse It goes off like a gun Brighter than the sun Now we can see its light No star burns so bright Not a single one Brighter than the sun Soon it will begin to fade But the elements it's made Are part of everyone Brighter than the sun Oh, this is how the stars Vanish from the the sky This is how they die Brighter than the sun
