Tom: D
G Bm A
[Verse 1]
G D
And if the terrors of the night
G D/F#
Come creeping into your day
G D A
And the world comes stealing children from your room
G Bm A
Guard your innocence
G Bm A
From hallucination
G D E
And know that darkness always gathers around the light
[Chorus 1]
G D
There is a light, you can’t always see
A Bm
If there is a world, we can’t always be
G D
If there is a dark, that we shouldn’t doubt
A Bm E
And there is a light, don’t let it go out
[Verse 2]
G D
When the wind screams and shouts
G D/F#
And the sea is a dragon’s tail
G D A
And the ship that stole your heart away sets sail
G Bm A
When all you’ve left is leaving
G Bm A
And all you got is grieving
G Bm A
And all you know is needing
G D E
Ah da-da, ah da-da-da, ah-da
[Chorus 2]
G D
If there is a light, you can’t always see
A Bm
If there is a world, we can’t always be
G D
If there is a dark, that we shouldn’t doubt
A Bm
And there is a light, don’t let it go out
[Post-Chorus]
G D A Bm
‘Cause this is a song, a song for someone
E
Someone like me
[Verse 3]
G D
I know the world is done
G D/F#
But you don’t have to be
G D D/F#
I’ve got a question for the child in you before it leaves
G Bm A
Are you tough enough to be kind?
G Bm A
Do you know your heart has its own mind?
G Bm A
Darkness gathers around the light
G E
Hold on, hold on
[Chorus 3]
G D
There is a light, you can’t always see
A Bm
If there is a world, we can’t always be
G D
If there is a dark, that we shouldn’t doubt
A Bm
And there is a light, don’t let it go out
[Outro]
G D A Bm
And this is a so-o-o-ong, a song for someone
G D A Bm
This is a so-o-o-ong, a song for someone
E
Someone like me
E
Someone like me
E
Someone like me
