[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
'Cause 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.
