[Verse]
G D/G
All day permanent red,
C/G G
the glaze on my eyes.
D/G
When I heard your voice,
C/G G
the distance caught me by surprise again.
D/G C/G G
And I know you claim that you're alright;
C G
but fix your eyes on me,
C
I guess I'm all you have
G D
and I swear you'll see the dawn again.
[Chorus]
C G
Well I know I had it all on the line,
Em D
but don't just sit with folded hands and become blind.
Am G
'Cause even when there is no star in sight,
Em D
you'll always be my only guiding light.
[Verse]
G D/G
Relate to my youth,
C/G G
well I'm still in awe of you.
D/G
Discover some new truth,
C/G G
and that was always wrapped around you.
G D/G C/G G
Don't just slip away in the night,
G D/G C/G G
dont just hurl your words from on high.
[Chorus]
C G
Well I know I had it all on the line,
Em D
but don't just sit with folded hands and become blind.
Am G
'Cause even when there is no star in sight,
Em D
you'll always be my only guiding light.
[Bridge]
Am G
If we come back and were broken,
Am Em
unworthy and ashamed,
Am G
give us something to believe in,
Am D / / / Am / / / G / / / Em / / / D / / /
and you know well go your way
[Chorus]
C G
Well I know I had it all on the line,
Em D
but don't just sit with folded hands and become blind.
Am G
'Cause even when there is no star in sight,
Em D
you'll always be my only guiding light. [Repeat Chorus - resolve to G]
