Intro Chords: D, A, E  x4

    
E              D         A     E                 D             A    E     
How, in every visible way you shine, as if the stars in your wake align

          D        A    E
Almost impossible to malign

E            D              A        E                D        A      E  
 But just below where you shine you burn, although I know it I never learn

              D           A        E
Just goes to show that I can't discern

CHORUS:

 D   A      E      D   A      E              D         A     E    
Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want

             D   A      E
But you're just Aluminum


 E            D             A        E                D           A      E
Illuminating just what you want to show, You'd never rust but I'd never know

               D         A         E
You can't be trusted, I can't let go


 D   A      E      D   A      E              D         A     E    
Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want

             D   A      E
But you're just Aluminum


       G          A          E  D          G               A        E
Every time you're here I forget, When you leave, you leave only regret,

       D           A          E  G A    E
Every time you're here, I forget E-very-thing


E      D       A                  C    E       D       A           C
You're so lightweight, how can you survive? Recycling moments from others' 

 E             D       A          C       E
lives, You're not as precious as you contrive


 D   A      E      D   A      E              D         A     E    
Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want

             D   A      E               D   A      E
But you're just Aluminum. Yeah you're just aluminum
