[Chorus]
Bm
I’ve been throwing stones
G
Waiting by the river

Bm
Well you built this city right in me
G
And brick by brick and piece by piece

And love in both in your hands tried to make an honest man

From when I woke until I went to sleep

You planned my life so carefully, sculpted me like clay
A
I could see you in my face
Bm G D A
And I never thought I’d live this life without your guiding light

But I don’t feel a thing, if you are, keep pulling strings
Bm
And send on down a message please
G
Light a bulb or haunt my dreams

I’d just like to know, that you hear me that you're close
Bm G D A
And I never thought I’d live this life without your guiding light
[Chorus]
